Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
How does Islam differentiate among the people of the settlements between the two [prayers] or part of it?
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
How does a person attain the burden of the agreement between the two [prayers] or after the Fajr prayer until the sunrise? Did he fall into a place where he does not pray, or is there no blame on him?
The Shaykh:
It appears, and Allah knows best, that waiting for the prayer after the prayer is the ribat (stationing for jihad), as the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan an-Nasa'i 143Sahih (Darussalam) It appears, and Allah knows best, that if he prays the Zuhr prayer while intending and resolving in his heart that he will pray the 'Asr prayer, and if he prays the 'Asr prayer while resolving and intending in his heart that he will pray the Maghrib prayer, this is the meaning of waiting for the prayer.
After the prayer, it is not obligatory to sit in the mosque. Even if he is busy with his work, but his intention and purpose is that when the adhan is called, he will go to the mosque to pray, this is waiting for the prayer after the prayer, and he is busy with his work. Yes, we do not keep people from their work and say, "Sit in the mosque to wait for the prayer." Rather, if he resolves on this and intends it in his heart, then he has waited for the prayer. Yes.
The questioner:
May Allah reward you.
