Objections of a non-Muslim
Question
If a non believer asks us why the Salaah of the morning is four rakaats while Zuhr is 10, how should we answer?
Answer
When he has not accepted the fundamental issues, then there is no point in talking to him about secondary issues. Don’t waste your time with such people.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
