Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. The author says, “The prayer and what precedes it are obligatory upon him.” What is the stronger position in this issue, given how frequently it occurs?
The Shaykh:
The stronger position is that it is obligatory, and this is the ruling issued by many of the Companions, and it is the position upon which people act.
The presenter:
Yes.
The Shaykh:
Except in the first case, where one catches a small amount of its time and then a preventer comes and he does not pray it. The correct view is that he does not pray the one for which he caught the beginning of its time. As for the one for which he caught the end of its time, the correct view is that he prays it and what precedes it.
The presenter:
Yes.
