The Beginning of the Calculation of Midnight
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: As for midnight, does its calculation begin immediately after the setting of the sun, or after the 'Isha' prayer?
Answer:
No, it is from the setting of the sun. The night begins from the setting of the sun. The fasting person breaks his fast, and the time for Maghrib enters. So the setting of the sun entails the rulings of the Shari'ah, and it is the beginning of the night. Yes.
