Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner: Regarding the tawaf before twelve at night, the edges of the flood?
The Shaykh: I mean the night of the sacrifice. Yes. Go and perform tawaf after twelve, meaning from the second day.
The questioner: He gives twenty riyals in charity. Abu Abdullah.
The Shaykh: This is a matter that has become popular among our brothers in Zarqa, meaning, for example, we are late for the congregational prayer, meaning we did not catch two rak'ahs, for example, or one rak'ah. So, if the imam concludes the prayer, do we move from our place to look for a sutrah while we are praying, advancing four
The questioner: five steps, or two, or three, or do we, before we pray, if we know we are late, bring a sutrah and place it in front of us in advance? No, no, welcome, of course. No, there is no need for it. Yes, indeed. There is no need for this effort, it is not a problem. It is sufficient to say that if the imam concludes the prayer and the one who joined late stands up to complete what remains of his prayer, if
The Shaykh: the sutrah is close to him such that it does not require much effort, he approaches it and prays facing it, otherwise he prays where he is, because he is still in the status of a follower behind that imam, and the imam's sutrah is a sutrah for the followers,
The questioner: there is a trick some of our brothers do, I used to do it, but I thought about it and said it involves effort, and indeed, two ma'mums are close to each other, one goes back a row behind the other so that he can conclude the prayer in the successful one.
The Shaykh : May Allah keep you safe.
The questioner: I said, meaning, they connect to this chair. Okay, our professor, sometimes the tables for the mushafs are close to you.
The Shaykh: The previous answer. We will do that. No, it was previous.
The questioner : May Allah keep you safe.
The Shaykh: That answer was if it is close.
The questioner: That is the answer. Yes, indeed. It is not that, yes, yes, there is effort if he brought it from far away. No, it is both. Close. For example, you brought a presence. Before.
The Shaykh: There was a previous answer to this, Abu Ahmad.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh: That if it is close to the sutrah, he approaches it and prays facing it, but if it is far from him, he does not strain himself, he prays where he is,
The questioner: Zafir does this, this is what Zafir does.
