Question:
May Allah preserve you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: Some scholars have determined the prohibited time before the adhan for Dhuhr to be ten minutes, while others say less than that. What is the decisive opinion on this?
Answer:
It does not extend to ten minutes, nor even five minutes. The time of the sun’s zenith is not known except by those who calculate and those who study astronomy, and it is a very short time that does not allow for a prayer.
