The answer in brief

machinesummary, machine-written

If you wake at asr after sleeping late, pray when you wake; he says the religion is meant to be easy, as the Prophet taught.

In more detail

A super chat says the questioner goes to sleep very late and joins the prayers together on waking at asr time. Mufti Abu Layth says that if that is when you wake up, that is when you wake up: as the hadith says, when you wake up, pray, since one cannot pray asleep. He says the religion should be kept real, and mentions a post mocking him as the Malik of now against the Malik of old for making things easy for people. He replies that this is the religion, citing the Prophet's saying that the religion is ease and that the best of the religion is the easiest, said three times, and that what he teaches is from the Sunnah.

You're doing it. You're doing it. Much love, Mr. Naughty. Naughty John Kurvan. Hi. Hi. Hi. I go sleep very late so I can sleep through and join the prayers together when I wake up at assur time.

So I take it what you're saying is because you go to sleep very late when you wake up it's often that's the time that you have to combine them. You kind of wake up into assur time. If that's when you wake up, that's when you wake up. You know, when you, as the hadith says, when you wake up, then pray. Obviously, you can't sleep pray.

So, when you wake up, pray. That's what I would say. The the dean really should be kept quite uh real. It should be kept real. I saw some uh ah damn I want to actually get the the kind of the screenshot. Somebody had made a post saying Malik back then and Malik now you got the Malik now.

So they were taking a dig at me saying yeah you're doing it. You're doing it. And they're just taking the mick about me trying to make things easy for people. You see this is not mean this is the dean. It is easy as the prophet said the dean is one of ease. And when asked what is the best of this deen he said

that the best of the dean is the most easiest the most easiest. The most easiest he said it three times. So there you go people. These are what I'm teaching you is from the Sunnah. Okay. Um, somebody mentioned about Dr. Abdul Majid's response to Bkari Gate. Right.
