Explaining the time for entering the midday prayer with practical demonstration

The student : Also.

The Shaykh: Just a little more.

The Shaykh: Yes, move it.
The student : Also.

The Shaykh: What is this long line...
The student: ... like this.

The Shaykh: Generalize here, the head.
The student: ... before the midday...

The Shaykh: Now, pay attention. If this shadow, or before I say this, you will see the shadow; every time it tilts eastward.
The student: Yes.

The Shaykh : Are we going?
The student : Okay.

The Shaykh: Okay, if it starts to shorten, then the call to prayer is in its proper place.
The student: Yes.

The Shaykh: But if you see it lengthening, meaning it comes with the letter here, it means the call is at the time of the sun's zenith, which is the time of dislike. Now we need to observe for a quarter of an hour, a third of an hour, twelve minus five.
The student: Our Shaykh, as soon as the call was made... this is based on the timing.

The Shaykh : What?
The student: As soon as the call was made, I did the timing.

The Shaykh: That is.
The student: I mean, regarding the clock, it became three minutes for the caller.

The Shaykh: It is not important, my brother, whether it is now or later. Now, what is the time on your clock? Twelve minus...
The student: ...five.

The Shaykh: Okay, the important thing is, what do we need to wait for now? A quarter of an hour.
The student: Let's see if it is coming.

The Shaykh: So if it starts to come to you, this is it, but the important thing is, observe whether the shadow is lengthening or shortening? If it continues to lengthen, it means the call is not in its time, and this is what I criticize if this is the call.
The student: It is not unified.

The Shaykh: Unified... also.
The student: No, no, according to the calendar.

The Shaykh: According to the calendar, yes, they call to prayer according to the calendar.
The student: If it is lengthening.

The Shaykh: Now, did you see the line? That one disappeared, this one was revealed.
The student: Yes, it is correct.

The Shaykh: What did you say, Abu Abdullah?
The student: If it is lengthening, it is not in its time, but...

The Shaykh: Yes, if it shortens, it means it is in its time, and there is no call in this town in its time.
The student: Okay, now how do we know that now is the time for the midday prayer? When do we put...

The Shaykh: What are we talking about?
The student: Excuse me, when do we put this so that we know... that the shadow is like.

The Shaykh: Every town, my father, has its situation. Our town here, the qiblah is in the south, but it might be a little to the right, a little to the left. So we here need to erect the stick; we need to erect it before the time when we see the sun has become... a quarter of an hour, half an hour.
The student: Yes.

The Shaykh: So that we take the shadow of this stick. So usually, we observe it half an hour before, a quarter of an hour before, so that we have a fixed idea in our mind that.
The student: It has now moved more toward the east.

The Shaykh: Here it needs to move, but we need to observe whether it is lengthening or shortening. I mean, now, for example, if it becomes here.
The student: It is shortening.

The Shaykh: It means it shortened. But if it comes here or between them, it means it is lengthening. Now, look at your line.
The student: ... shortened, it seems.

The Shaykh: Not like that.
The student: Yes.

The Shaykh : That is it.
The student: If it shortened, my Shaykh, I think the time is perfect.

The Shaykh: No, on the contrary, on the contrary, because now you take this idea: the sun came out from here, you will find this shadow, this stick is casting here.
The student: Correct.

The Shaykh: Every time the sun goes up, it tilts, tilts; every time it does, this shadow, what does it do? It shortens. So as long as this shadow is shortening, it means the time for the midday prayer has not yet come. When it starts to lengthen, that is the time for the midday prayer. So now, if our observation is correct here, meaning it shortened a little, meaning a few millimeters.
The student: Yes.

The Shaykh: It means it is shortening.
The student: Yes, yes, correct.

The Shaykh: It means the midday prayer has not yet come.
The student: Even Abdullah's mark, did you see Abdullah's mark? It shortened.

The Shaykh: Where is that?
The student: Yes, the big one.
The student: I mean, it is still not clear to me, my Shaykh, the answer.

The Shaykh: Go ahead.
The student: I want to observe when the midday prayer is called. I put this stake that you put, so I want to know if now is the time for the midday prayer. How do I know that now the shadow is in a certain direction, or is it, my Shaykh... the thing that you put.
Another student: ...

The Shaykh: Amen, my brother, you have a clock, may Allah guide you. We are talking about when it comes out.
The student : ... .

The Shaykh: Listen, when we talk, when the sun comes out in the east, the shadow will be very long.
The student: Correct.

The Shaykh: As it rises higher.
