The Rising of the Second Dawn: Is It Fixed by a Specific Time or Does It Take a Period of Time?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : May Allah have mercy on you. Is the rising of the second dawn fixed at a specific time, or does it take a period of time?

The Shaykh : If you see the white horizon, then the day has begun. If it becomes bright, then the day has begun, as stated in the hadith.

The questioner : Rely on the calendars.

The Shaykh : No, the calendar has an advance, especially in the Fajr prayer, where it is advanced by at least five minutes.
