The Shaykh : The first matter: That it be performed at its time.
The times of prayer are five. Allah referred to them in the Qur'an in general terms, and the Sunnah provided the details.
Where is the general reference in the Qur'an?
In His saying, the Exalted:
Establish prayer at the decline of the sun [from its meridian] until the darkness of the night and [also] the Qur'an of dawn. Indeed, the recitation of dawn أقمِ الصَّلاةَ لِدُلُوكِ الشَّمْسِ إِلَى غَسَقِ اللَّيْلِ وَقُرْآنَ الْفَجْرِ إِنَّ قُرْآنَ الْفَجْرِ
[Al-Isra 17:78]
,
at the setting of the sun لدلوك الشمس
meaning its setting,
until the darkness of the night إلى غسق الليل
meaning until the middle of the night, because the completion of the twilight—which is darkness—occurs when?
In the middle of the night.
This time, from the middle of the day to the middle of the night, has no moment in which there is no time for prayer.
The details of this were provided by the Sunnah.
