Summary
The delayed Asr call to prayer is not a Maliki practice but follows the school of Imam Abu Hanifah. The Hanafi school holds that the Asr time begins when an object's shadow reaches twice the length of the object itself. The majority of scholars hold that it begins when the shadow equals the object's length plus a little more.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Bukan mazhab Imam Malik tetapi mazhab Imam Abu Hanifah.
