When does the time for the Zuhr prayer begin?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : When the shadow starts to lengthen, the time enters, is that right, O our Shaykh?
The Shaykh : It is not like that.
The questioner : Then teach me, because it has become confused for me, I mean.
The Shaykh : By Allah, teaching you, or anyone else, will not be possible, I mean, through words, especially.
The questioner : Practically, O our Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Especially over the phone.
The questioner : Yes, my Shaykh.
The Shaykh : So it needs to be like now, we are under the sun, we set up the shadow stick, and I ask you to do it practically, otherwise you will not be able to understand me.
The questioner : O our Shaykh, I had shown you, may Allah preserve you, but I still do not know when it lengthens or shortens, but this is, I mean, approximately the problem for me.
The Shaykh : Okay, do you remember that when the sun rises, the shadow of the stick is very long?
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : It starts to shorten, it shortens, until it appears to the eye that it has stopped shortening.
The questioner : Yes, my Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Okay, this stopping is the time of dislike.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : So when it starts to lengthen, that is the time when the dislike ends and the time for Zuhr enters.
The questioner : Yes, that is right.
The Shaykh : That is it.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good, O our Shaykh.
The Shaykh : It is not like that.
The questioner : Then teach me, because it has become confused for me, I mean.
The Shaykh : By Allah, teaching you, or anyone else, will not be possible, I mean, through words, especially.
The questioner : Practically, O our Shaykh.
