How are the 'Isha' and Fajr prayers performed in lands where the twilight does not disappear?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : There is nothing in what people are given at Zamzam, it is a definitive matter.
The Shaykh : Yes, a type from far away, their answer is from another place.
The questioner : Many people, all of them, some people are unable, some people are unable, they cannot manage.
The Shaykh : And what do I do, praise be to Allah.
The questioner : The questioner says: We are in a land where the white twilight does not disappear, and the time of 'Isha' and Fajr overlap, so how do we pray these two times?
The Shaykh : Before answering this question, the brother says that there is nothing in the water of Zamzam now. And I inform the brothers that the officials here say that the water of Zamzam has decreased greatly, and that it is not sufficient now except for drinking, and the matter will be studied, if Allah wills, and it will be dealt with, but whoever does not find water, it is not permissible for him to perform tayammum here, because the water is present. Rather, he must leave the mosque, even if he misses the congregation, and seek water and perform wudu with it, because it is not permissible for a person to perform tayammum out of fear of missing the congregation. Yes, if it were assumed that he fears missing the time, or that, for example, one of the sick people, but to perform tayammum for the sake of missing the congregation, this is not permissible for him. Rather, he must leave the Sacred Mosque and buy water and perform wudu with it.
The questioner : The questioner says: If one does not catch the Friday prayer, does he pray it as Zuhr or as Jumu'ah?
The Shaykh : I did not like what came before, I did not like it.
Another questioner : My dear, the question.
The Shaykh : Yes.
Another questioner : O 'Abd al-Majid.
The Shaykh : Yes, indeed. What is it? Compassion.
The questioner : We are in a land where the white network does not disappear, and the time of 'Isha' and Fajr overlap, so how do we pray these two times?
The Shaykh : The twilight, which is the last time of 'Isha', is the red twilight, not the white twilight. And on this basis, if there is red twilight in these lands, then when the red twilight disappears, the time of 'Isha' enters, and then it extends to half the night, even if the whiteness is present. If there is no red twilight, but the twilight is white until the dawn of Fajr comes, then at that time, the time of Maghrib and the time of 'Isha' are estimated. For this reason, when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) informed about the days of the Dajjal that the first day is like a year, the second day is like a month, the third day is like a week, and the remaining days are like the usual days, like the days of the Dajjal at the end of the world, the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) said: O Messenger of Allah, is one prayer sufficient for us on the day that is like a year? He said: No, estimate for it its measure. So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) made it clear that if the time is not measured by the night and day that have set, then a measure is estimated for it. Yes.
