Importance Of Hadith In Sunnah And Overall Islam
This has nothing to do with amali tawattur as I see it. It was a simple ijtihad of prophet based on nature of how ‘ Fajr ‘ time is determined. Since the timing of fasting was determined on best estimate as there was no better scientific way of determining such timings as we have today. So Prophet (sws) based on this premise, gave this relaxation. It was a simple allowance for the margin of error that was obvious to have been made. As Ghamidi sb. has said on several occasions, we should not analyze “Past” with an eye of “Present”; we need to live that past in our mind to see things better.
