Is the closing of markets among the signs of the Hour?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The closing of markets among the signs of the Hour?

Answer:
The shortening of time is mentioned in the authentic hadith. The closing of markets is from the words of the people.
Time will be shortened, trials will increase, and the killing will increaseيتقارب الزمان وتكثر الفتن ويكثر الهرج
— meaning killing — and drinking intoxicants. All of this will occur in the end of time. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) informed us of this, as in al-Bukhari and others.
Q: What is meant?
The Shaykh: The shortening of time means that the year becomes like a month, the month like a week, and the week like a day. It means the speed of time and the scarcity of blessing.
