The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: A man I know, when he goes to Makkah, prays the Fajr prayer in the Haram with the congregation, then prays it again afterwards on the grounds that the prayer in the Haram is before its time with respect to Fajr.
The Shaykh:
Meaning, he considers all the Muslims to be in error and he is the one who is correct? We ask Allah for safety. This is not permissible. There is a group of some ignorant people upon him who say that they know the time and know the timing, and they have a bad opinion of the Muslims and invalidate their prayer. This is not permissible to act upon. We ask Allah for safety. Yes.
The presenter:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.
The Shaykh:
We pray according to the calendar here; the adhan is called according to the calendar, and we take a third of an hour, a quarter of an hour, and the iqamah is called and we pray. And if we go out, and if the daylight is clear, meaning they are mistaken by something clear, Glory be to Allah. Yes, the Haram, if they have finished, if it is clear from the daylight that it is not hidden, yes.
