Question:
May Allah be with you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: There are those who attribute to you the statement that the one who sits in the mosque until the sun rises should remain only four minutes from the time of sunrise, after which the prohibited time ends, and then he prays. Is this attribution to you correct?
Answer:
This is a lie and a fabrication. Why did I specify four minutes? Remaining until the sun has risen the length of a spear is what is mentioned in the words of the scholars of knowledge. It is not specified by minutes, but by the sun rising above the horizon. Yes.
