The Prayer of Fear in the Presence of the Enemy Without Intense Fear
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
And in other matters, I found here the truthful one. The first one said that it applies when it is not a fitnah (trial, discord or temptation), and when there is no severe weakness.
The Shaykh:
Yes, as long as the enemy is present, as long as the enemy is present facing them, they pray the Prayer of Fear even if the fear is not intense, because the enemy cannot be trusted. It may appear that he does not want to fight at the present time, but it is a deception, and then when they enter the prayer, he attacks them. He cannot be trusted.
The questioner:
In this time in which He sent him, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was safe.
The Shaykh:
Radar is not sufficient. Radar is an addition that increases panic, but it is not sufficient. The radar may malfunction, something may happen to it. He prays the obligatory prayer as established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
