Question:
He asks: Is there evidence in the hadith of Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) regarding the times of prayer that the Prophets used to pray in the same manner and at the same times as the prayer we perform?
Answer:
It is not necessary. They used to pray, but it is not necessary that their prayer be like our prayer. They used to fast, but their fasting was not like our fasting. So, in essence, the worship is the same, but in its manner, it may differ. Yes.
