الأحاديث والآثار العملية الواردة في وقت صلاة الفجر: فقهها ودلالاتها

Abstract EN

The Prayer is the second pillar of Islam and one of its prerequisites is to make sure that its time is due.

This paper discusses the timing of Dawn Prayer because it was controversial to some people.

Some argue that the due time according to Makkah calendar is after the exact time of the true Dawn.

Therefore, I collected all the action traditions of the prophet, may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him, and his orthodox caliphs, may Allah be pleased with them all.

I showed that the time of Dawn during the lifetime of the prophet and his companions was long enough for many practices that could not be performed during the time suggested by some researchers.

Further, the timing of the Makkah calendar is more likely in conformity with the traditions.

This paper affirms from a different angle the appropriateness of the timing in which Muslim observe their prayers in the Kingdom of Saluda Arabia today, though it is not uncommon that people do not see the dawn about twenty minutes after, particularly in the current weathers.

The timing was not clearly designated by some people even during the era of the prophet’s companions, may Allah be please with them all.
