There is a ruling regarding 6 month day and night
Muslims living there must live with other people and I sm sure everybody must be following 24 hour schedule. So they are in to regular cycle of sleep Bfast, lunch dinner etc. so one can arrange to pray 5 times as per their sleep awake cycle.
We just cannot throw out question like this just to flummox those following non Ismaili Islam. Other then say 20m Ismaili,Muslim do pray 5 Salat, fast in Ramadan, do Wadu before prayer, pray same number of raqats in fird Salat, read same Quran, are obliged to go to Hajj, pay Zakat and Sadaqa etc etc.
We do have same and educated religious leaders to guide us strictly based on Wuran and authentic Sunna.
Let us look into this matter according to Quran.
Quran says; " And eat and drink, until the white thread(al khaitul abyadhu) of dawn appear to you distinct from its black thread ( al khaitul aswadu).Then complete your fast till the night appears". Al Baqarah, ayat # 187.
If we follow Quran strictly then in Denmark and in surrounding countries or where sun does not set for 6 months Muslims have to follow 22/24 hours roza which on daily basis for 30 days is not possible. Same problem with Fajr and Isha' namaz. For solving such problems muslims have to depend on Ijtihad or Mufitiyan. I don'tr think that Imam Abu Hanifah solved this kind of problem because we can't find any Hadith also to guide muslims. If you have any knowledge please quote. As other brother muslims depend on Ijtihad or Fatwa from any muslim scholar, Same way Ismailis depend upon their Imam to guide them.
Islam is a way of life and is not confined only to namaz,roza, hajj. The binding force between all muslims is SHAHADAH. In my opinion HUQQUQUL IBAAD ARE MOST IMPORTANT THAN HUQQULLAH.
