Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Many people understand what is reported in the hadith from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), where He said, "But an hour and an hour," in a wrong way. What is the correct understanding of that?
Answer:
"An hour and an hour" means you set aside something for yourself from the permissible stimulants, such as permissible joking, permissible laughter, and so on—permissible things that are not forbidden. You say, "This is an hour and an hour of leisure." An hour and an hour of the permissible things that rest you from fatigue and energize you for work in the future. Yes.
