Countries where the rain continues: does the dispensation continue, or what?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : May Allah reward you, O Shaykh. In countries where the rain continues...
The Shaykh : What, yes?
The questioner : I am saying that in some countries...
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : It continues; they do not see the sun for a week or ten days, or...
The Shaykh : Yes, indeed.
The questioner : Or countries that are very cold...
The Shaykh : The dispensation is general. As long as the hardship exists, praise be to Allah. It is like if a person has an illness that prevents the obligation of congregational prayer from falling upon him, then it is dropped from him.
The questioner : And in the polar countries, O Shaykh, winter lasts four months, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh : There is no harm; there is no obstacle, absolutely. Whenever the hardship is found, Allah only wants ease for you and does not want difficulty for you.
