The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: In the month of Ramadan, we witnessed a strange matter in Makkah. It is that at the time of the adhan, great lights come out of a tower next to it until the adhan is finished. Some people have said that this is imitating the people of the Fire when they enter and desire to pray. Is that correct? And what is the opinion on that?
The Shaykh:
Imitation here.
The questioner:
Imitating them, the people of the Fire.
The Shaykh:
The people of the Fire call to prayer. How is it imitation? I do not know what this means. But these lights, this is the time they were built. Above Ajyad, they turn on the lights at the time of the adhan. A problem occurred regarding that, and they were advised to leave this thing. Yes.
