Question:
It occurs late at night, and days before it is published in the newspapers, for example, that it will be at such-and-such an hour. So, is this matter to be published among the people so that the number of those praying increases?
Answer:
No, we do not restrict this to what we do not restrict; there is no evidence for it, and it is not to be paid attention to, because it leads to people acting on it even if they see nothing. If they see something, as the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "If you see that..." If they see something, praise be to Allah. Yes. Peace be upon you. Nothing has been transmitted regarding... whatever is easy, so he said whatever is easy that
