Does the disagreement in establishing the month of Ramadan conflict with the Night of Decree?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : And does the disagreement in fasting, meaning in the beginning of the month, if there is an error in it, does this affect the Night of Decree?
The Shaykh : Repeat the question for me; the disagreement in establishing the month?
The questioner : In establishing the month; meaning we fasted twenty-nine days of Sha'ban, and they said that Ramadan had entered; does this affect the last ten days, the odd nights, or?
The Shaykh : No, it does not affect it, because the Lord of the worlds is the One who determines matters for these worshippers.
Another questioner : In the hadith of Bilal: in the odd nights of Ramadan.
The Shaykh : How?
Another questioner : I say: seek it in the odd nights of Ramadan.
The Shaykh : Yes.
Another questioner : So if the true odd nights might be even if there is an error in the calculation?
The Shaykh : It is possible, this supports that this disagreement does not conflict, it does not conflict.
Another questioner : Meaning it might occur, for example, on the night of the twenty-eighth... which is, for example, the night of the twenty-ninth or the night of the twenty-seventh with Allah (Mighty and Majestic).
The Shaykh : With Allah we do not say, with the servants of Allah it is like this, do you understand the difference between with Allah and with the servants of Allah? Meaning regarding our establishment of the month, this might happen, but the truth with Allah might be otherwise.
The questioner : What is he afraid of?
The Shaykh : Yes?
The questioner : What is he afraid of?
Another questioner : It might be otherwise with Allah... meaning it might be the night of the twenty-seventh with Allah, and the night of the twenty-eighth in our calculation?
The Shaykh : Why are you afraid now? Abu 'Abdullah is expressing something... I know, do you want it?
Another questioner : I am afraid... on the night of the twenty-eighth, and the Messenger says:, so I might seek it on an odd night and not seek it on an even night, but I fear that there might be an error in the calculation of the month and I might miss it?
The Shaykh : Okay; he did not tell you: seek it only, first of all he told you: widen the circle for you; in the last ten days, and then he classified this classification for you, and then he classified the final classification which is the twenty-seventh, so if we assume an error in this, this error is not attributed to the Shari'ah; because the Shari'ah did not specify the night for you in this night only; especially if you remember that some scholars widened the circle without a text that it is in all of Ramadan, do you see how? No, the text came in the last ten days, so if this disagreement conflicts with the reality in pinpointing the Night of Decree in the odd nights, for example; this does not oppose the general principle that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered us with in seeking the Night of Decree in the last ten days.
Another questioner : Meaning the intended meaning of his saying: if this does not conflict with the?
The Shaykh : I mean it does not conflict as long as the general command exists, it would conflict if it were limited to the odd nights that we established by mistake, it is not limited.
Another questioner : I say that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said first:, then in the odd nights; so is it possible that his saying: is a specification of the odd nights from the last ten days?
The Shaykh : This is like if you said the command to seek in twenty-seven is a specification; do you say specification?
Another questioner : If there are no other hadiths?
The Shaykh : Do not say: if, this condition is not entered now... do you say that the command to seek in twenty-seven is a specification?
Another questioner : By Allah, this is what I say.
The Shaykh : Specification?
Another questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : No, the correct view is that the Night of Decree moves within these ten days, yes, and it is not limited to twenty-seven; and this means it is like it is fixed by observing the sun on the morning of the Night of Decree, it might be on the seventh, it might be on the fifth, and so on.
The Shaykh : Okay; and others?
Another questioner : And it might be on the even nights - also?
The Shaykh : What?
Another questioner : And it might be on the even nights?
The Shaykh : On the even nights I do not know, it might be regarding the incorrect establishment, it is possible.
Another questioner : Is there a text for the last day - our Shaykh -?
The Shaykh : Yes?
Another questioner : Is there a text for the last day of the days of Ramadan?
The Shaykh : The last ten days.
Another questioner : The last ten days; because on one of the nights it appeared... .
The Shaykh : Yes.
Yes.
The Shaykh : Repeat the question for me; the disagreement in establishing the month?

تحرَّوها في الليالي الوترThe Shaykh : Okay; he did not tell you: seek it only, first of all he told you: widen the circle for you; in the last ten days, and then he classified this classification for you, and then he classified the final classification which is the twenty-seventh, so if we assume an error in this, this error is not attributed to the Shari'ah; because the Shari'ah did not specify the night for you in this night only; especially if you remember that some scholars widened the circle without a text that it is in all of Ramadan, do you see how?

تحرَّوها في العشر الأواخرIn the odd nights
في ليالي الوترThe Shaykh : This is like if you said the command to seek in twenty-seven is a specification; do you say specification?
