The Shaykh: And upon you peace.
The questioner : How are you, Shaykh?
The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah, I am well.
The questioner : Praise be to Allah.
The Shaykh : How are you?
The questioner : We praise Allah in all circumstances.
The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah.
The questioner : O our Shaykh, there is a question, a question that has really confused many of our Salafi brothers!
The Shaykh : And what is it?
The questioner : Every time we read in a book, the confusion increases.
The Shaykh : Good, if Allah wills.
The questioner : May it be good, if Allah wills. The question concerns the Fajr prayer. We read in a treatise by Shaykh al-Uthaymeen that says: meaning, the time of the Fajr prayer is when whiteness spreads across the sky.
The Shaykh : No, that is not so.
The questioner : Yes?
The Shaykh : It is not so.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : What? Yes, I am telling you: it is not so. It does not say: where did Uthaymeen say what about him?
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Yes, yes, yes!!
The questioner : A treatise he wrote on the times of prayer.
The Shaykh : Is the treatise in front of you?
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Is the treatise in front of you?
The questioner : No, I have the treatise at home, Shaykh.
The Shaykh : So you are misquoting the Shaykh.
The questioner : Then I made a mistake in reading.
The Shaykh : Yes, you made a mistake in memorization, not in reading. If the treatise were in front of you and you were reading from it, we would say you made a mistake in reading. But you say the treatise is at home, so you misquoted from your memory.
The questioner : O Shaykh!
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : Can I bring the treatise and read it to you?
The Shaykh : That is it. That is the correct one.
The questioner : Can I have a moment, Shaykh?
The Shaykh : Yes, a moment.
The questioner : How are you, Shaykh?
The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah, I am well.
The questioner : Praise be to Allah.
The Shaykh : How are you?
The questioner : We praise Allah in all circumstances.
The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah.
