In some European countries, the night lasts up to twenty hours and the day up to four hours in some months, and vice versa. How do they pray?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : In the city of Leningrad, there are about four months, as a brother of ours in Allah informed us, in which the night is very long, reaching twenty hours, and the day reaches four hours.
The Shaykh : And vice versa.
The questioner : And vice versa. So how is the prayer performed?
The Shaykh : They estimate the times of the prayers based on the nearest country to them where the sun rises and sets in a normal manner. However, I say that this answer is only for a country where it is not possible to have five distinct times, even if they are close together. If these five times cannot be realized, then the answer is what I mentioned earlier: they estimate the five times based on the nearest country to them that has the five times.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good. May Allah bless you.
The Shaykh : And vice versa.
