Question

Why do we prevent children from going out at sunset?

السؤال (بالعربية)

لماذا نمنع الصَّبيان من الخروج عند غروب الشَّمس؟

Official Transcript (English)

We prevent them from going out at sunset because this is the time when the devils (shayatin) spread out. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: 'When night falls, keep your children indoors, for the devils spread out at that time.' (Agreed upon).

الجواب الكامل (باللغة العربية)

نمنعهم من الخروج عند الغروب؛ لأنَّ هذا وقت تنتشر فيه الشَّياطين، قال النَّبي ﷺ: «إذا جنح اللَّيل فكفُّوا صبيانكم فإنَّ الشَّياطين تنتشر». (متَّفق عليه).
