Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Some scholars have used the Hadith of Jibril, in which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) led the prayer in all the prayers, as evidence for the times of the prayers. What is your opinion on this evidence, and what is the authenticity of the hadith?
Answer:
Yes, the hadith is authentic, as far as I know. It is an authentic hadith. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) led Jibril in prayer at the beginning of the time and at the end of it. He said: He led him in prayer on the first day at the beginning of the time, and on the second day he led him at the end of the time. Then he said: The meaning of this is to define the time, its beginning and its end. However, the Hadith of Jibril is general, and the hadiths we have read and others are detailed and explain it. Yes.

الصلاة بين هذين الوقتين
