Talk:Maghrib
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Under Shia Islam, the article says that is is important to pray ASAP after the time begins. I thought that was the difference between Shias and Sunnis on this point; that the urgency was not mandated in Shi'ism—iFaqeer (Talk to me!) 19:01, Apr 26, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] What about Muslims that live above the polar circle.
I recently went on a visit to Tromsø, a town in the North of Norway, and at this time of year (June) the sun never sets... for at least 2 months.
What happens then of the evening prayer? And of course, what about the winter when the sun never comes above the horizon for an equal amount of time.
This also has implication for the month of Ramadan should it fall in either Summer (nobody can fast for that long) or Winter.
