The Ruling on the Fajr Prayer According to the Umm al-Qura Time and the Response to Those Who Doubt It
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: What is the ruling on praying the Fajr prayer immediately after the time enters, according to the time, the time of Umm al-Qura?
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
May Allah keep you safe. What is the ruling on praying the Fajr prayer immediately after the time enters according to the time of Umm al-Qura? And is it necessary to wait seventeen minutes, as we have heard from those who doubt this time and the entry of Fajr?
The Shaykh:
Do not pay attention to this doubt. The Umm al-Qura time calendar is approved by the scholars and by the rulers, it is in use, and its correctness is apparent to people; no error has been found in it. These people either want to apply the Hanafi school, which delays the Fajr prayer until they stay up very late, or they want to sow doubt and confusion among the people. The Umm al-Qura calendar is approved, and in these days, an order was issued by the Royal Court to approve it and act upon it by the one in authority.
