Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : And upon you peace and the mercy of Allah
The questioner : May Allah reward you, O Shaykh. I arrived at Muzdalifah after midnight. Is my prayer valid, or should I pray it before [midnight]?
The Shaykh : If a person fears that after leaving 'Arafah he will not reach Muzdalifah until after midnight, it is obligatory for him to pray, even if it is on the road. It is not permissible for him to delay the prayer until after midnight, because the time for 'Isha' extends until after midnight. Yes.
The questioner : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. May Allah reward you, O Shaykh. I am a student studying the principles of religion in Riyadh, in the Department of Creed. Our Shaykh, 'Ali al-Dakhil, teaches us the subject of istiwa' (rising above the Throne). We are currently studying the points of refutation by Ibn al-Qayyim against those who interpret istiwa' as istiwa' (seizing or taking possession). Read it to you, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : By Allah, I am just afraid of the brothers.
The questioner : It will not take long, O Shaykh. It is only six lines.
The Shaykh : Ah?
The questioner : It is only six lines.
The Shaykh : No, leave it. Let it be for later. Let it be for another time. Yes.
