Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The first point that Professor Mashhur mentioned is that the time is one, and that the... He argues by saying that...
The Shaykh : Of course, there is a comment on it, because I do not know if you understood his statement in its absolute sense or how? He combined the two times, the midday and the afternoon!
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Yes, this time, this combining—have we not yet done this, O Fadl?
The questioner : Yes, ah.
The Shaykh : The combining of the two prayers.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Is it permissible absolutely? Or is the answer that it is not permissible absolutely?
The questioner : Not permissible absolutely.
The Shaykh : Good, so making up the sunnah that he is going on about—is it permissible absolutely or not permissible absolutely?
The questioner : Not permissible absolutely.
The Shaykh : Okay, is this his statement?
The questioner : I mean.
The Shaykh : Absolute or qualified?
The questioner : His statement is absolute.
The Shaykh : Yes, so the error is established.
The questioner : Okay, the argument that the time is one time?
The Shaykh : That is not what we are refuting. The time is one time in dire necessity, not in the general system. If the time were one time, you could combine the midday and afternoon because you prayed each time in its time. Is that clear to you?
The questioner : No, excuse me, it is not clear.
The Shaykh : From whom did you ask this question?
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Is it permissible to combine the two prayers?
The questioner : It is permissible.
The Shaykh : I said no, absolutely. Is it permissible to combine the two prayers?
The questioner : No, no.
The Shaykh : Absolutely?
The questioner: No.
The Shaykh : Okay, the time is one! What is the way out? It is not clear, my brother. Is it permissible for me to combine the sunset and night prayers today without an excuse?
The questioner : No.
The Shaykh : Yes, is not the time one?
The questioner : No, the time is not one.
The Shaykh : In that hour you say: and he says: that the time is one.
The questioner : The time is one during dire necessity, which is during the excuse, meaning.
The Shaykh : And the sunnah that he is looking for—is it during dire necessity or the normal time?
The questioner : During dire necessity.
The Shaykh : No... is his research during dire necessity?
The questioner : Ah, during the time of combining, O our Shaykh, this is the beginning of the research.
The Shaykh : Okay, and which sunnah?
The questioner : The sunnah of the prayer to which it is combined, which is, for example, the midday. If the afternoon is combined with the midday, the research is about the post-midday sunnah.
The Shaykh : And the pre-midday?
The questioner : The pre-midday!
The Shaykh : What does he say about it?
The questioner : He is saying...
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : He says: "Our evidence regarding the post-midday sunnah after the afternoon prayer is your evidence regarding the pre-midday sunnah. Just as you established the pre-midday and the post-sunset, establish the post-midday." This is the first evidence he argued with.
Another questioner : May Allah reward you with good...
The Shaykh : Hold onto it and keep it as a trust.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Also.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : So it is a trust, then.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Either with her or with her husband.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh: Is it clear?
The questioner : Yes, it is clear.
The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah.
