Question:
What is zawal, when does its time begin, and what does it mean that the shadow of every object is equal to it or twice its length?
Answer:
Zawal is the sun’s inclination toward the west. This is zawal: when it inclines toward the west in the view of the observer, that is zawal. It becomes clear by using vertical objects. If you erect an object, it becomes clear after the shadow of zawal. When the sun has passed its zenith, the shadow increases after it has inclined toward the west. This is zawal.
