Sharia scholars disagreed regarding the beginning of its time and the end of the time of the noon prayer and the end of the time of the afternoon prayer. Whoever says that the beginning of the time of the afternoon prayer is the same as the end of the time of the noon prayer, which is when the shadow of everything becomes the same. Those who said this differed, so who said that that time is common for the two prayers Together, its amount is that he should pray four rak’ahs if he is staying, or two rak’ahs if he is shortening it.

In this issue and others like it, no disagreement should have been imagined, but God has made this disagreement a mercy for His servants and an expansion of what He has entrusted them with in worshiping Him. But the jurists of our time prohibited and restricted people from imitating scholars what the Sharia has expanded upon them. They said to the imitator, if he is a Hanafi school of thought, do not ask for Shafi’i’s permission in what matters. It has befallen you and likewise to every one of them. This is one of the greatest calamities in religion and hardship.

As for the consideration of the time separating the two times, this is the meaning. The separation between the two nouns, each of which is not understood to be a joint one, so the ruling on each noun is purified on its own, and it is the definition of the stopper in our view. If a person on the path moves from a station that he has established and attained due to manners, taste, and character, to another station that he also wants to attain, he pauses between the two stations, and the ruling for that pause goes away.

The stations in this path are like the types of deeds in the Sharia, such as prayer, zakat, fasting, Hajj, jihad, and other things. Just as each type of these deeds has its own knowledge, likewise each station has its own etiquette and treatment. Muhammad ibn Abd al-Jabbar al-Nafri explained this in his book, which he called “Al-Mawaqif wa al-Qawl I Waqfat.” For the most part, it is an honorable book that contains the sciences of the etiquette of the shrines.
