Seeing the dawn for those who live next to a high mountain

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
This questioner says: We live next to a mountain, and its height is one thousand six hundred meters,

The Shaykh:
what do we do?

The questioner:
He says: We live next to a mountain, and its height is one thousand six hundred meters, and the distance between our houses and the mountain is approximately two kilometers. The dawn appears in the direction of this mountain. Is it possible for us to see the mountain from where we are, or must we go to another place to see it?

The Shaykh:
The mountain, or do they see the dawn?

The questioner:
They see the dawn.

The Shaykh:
Yes, is it possible?

The questioner:
For us to see the dawn from where we are? Or must we say

The Shaykh:
The dawn does not appear except from the foot of the mountain that is near you. The dawn appears across the horizon; it appears in the horizon. The mountain does not block it, nor does anything else block it.

The questioner:
He says: Do we go to another place to see it?

The Shaykh:
No, do not go to another place. If you are in a town, pray with the people. If the mu'adhdhin calls to prayer, pray with the people. Even if you are alone, the dawn is clear: a white light across the horizon. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh,
