Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Shaykh, sometimes they pray the midday prayer. We have benefited from you regarding the timing of the midday prayer in its actual time. They enter the prayer before the actual time, relying on this calendar, and they combine, for example.
The Shaykh : They pray a voluntary prayer with them.
The questioner : He prays the midday prayer now, and the congregation prays the afternoon prayer.
The Shaykh : He prays a voluntary prayer with them.
The questioner : Two prayers, because the midday prayer is considered not in its time, so we prayed it as a voluntary prayer. Now they have entered the afternoon prayer, Shaykh. In your opinion.
The Shaykh : You are praying the midday prayer. Yes.
The questioner : I am praying the midday prayer. Well, in my conviction, their prayer is invalid.
The Shaykh : The first prayer is invalid.
The questioner : The invalid one, but the second one is valid. They prayed the afternoon prayer. They did not pray the midday prayer in my conviction, because they prayed it before its time. And now they prayed the afternoon prayer. So, according to their conviction, does the situation proceed? I pray.
The Shaykh : Why is this the first question and you do not know its answer? May Allah forgive you.
The questioner : Amen. Of course, of course, good.
The Shaykh : These subdivisions that you subdivide, if you lived the life of Noah, you would not finish them. Take the rule and rest. Be, look, be, look. Do not wake up after ten minutes.
The questioner : No, the Shaykh says after a quarter of the midday time. A quarter or ten minutes? Is it permissible? Not everyone for ten minutes or a quarter?
The Shaykh : How?
The questioner : I said ten minutes certainly. What is it? Meaning, after ten minutes, or ten minutes after the midday prayer.
