Prayer after Fajr until the sun rises the height of a spear

The questioner:
As you honored the Shaykh, may Allah reward you, and yesterday a Companion asked: What is the ruling on praying after the ten [prayers] until the sun rises? What are the matters regarding this?

The Shaykh:
The meaning of this is that you do not pray a voluntary prayer. As for the obligatory prayer, you pray it at any time, whether within its time, or if you slept or forgot it, you pray it as soon as you remember or wake up. Making up a missed prayer has no specific time; you pray it at any time. As for voluntary prayers, you do not pray them during the prohibited times.

The questioner:
And is the meaning a specific stop, or hearing it, or something else?

The Shaykh:
It means it rises from the horizon the length of a spear. The spear that was known among the Arabs, which they used to stab with, meaning a stick with a pointed tip or a defined iron point, and they throw it at whom they want to stab or stab them, and they reach it from afar on horseback or on this. This is the spear.
So the estimation is approximate. That is, when the sun rises from the horizon, then prayer becomes permissible at that time. When it rises from the horizon, it is not determined by the hour, but by the distance, the distance of the sun from the horizon. So as long as it is on the horizon, do not pray. When it rises and stands apart from the horizon, then the time becomes permissible, and prayer becomes permissible at that time. Yes.
