Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The questioner asks: Does the day end with the rising of the sun or with the appearance of the dawn? And how does it end? From the perspective of the mind. Night.
The Shaykh : Yes, the questioner asks: Does the night end with the rising of the sun or with the appearance of the dawn? And how is half of the night calculated? And when does the time for the 'Isha' prayer end? Yes. According to the Arabic language, the author of the dictionary stated that the night lasts until the appearance of the dawn or the rising of the sun. As for what the legal evidence requires, the legal evidence sometimes indicates that the night lasts until the rising of the sun, and sometimes until the appearance of the dawn, and the latter is the most common. Accordingly, half of the night, which is the last time for the 'Isha' prayer, is the period between the setting of the sun and the appearance of the dawn, especially since the appearance of the dawn marks the beginning of the time for a new prayer. It appears that half of the night, which ends the time for 'Isha', is considered based on the period between the setting of the sun
