The ruling on the claim that the Fajr prayer should be delayed beyond its time according to the calendar

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: There is a lot of talk these days that the dawn time on the calendar is incorrect, and that the Fajr prayer must be delayed by at least a third of an hour, and that whoever prays before that must repeat it. We ask for guidance.

Answer:
O my brothers, many people nowadays are playing with matters of worship, casting doubt in people's minds. The Muslims have been praying, praise be to Allah, for a long time, and truly they have no problem. People come from among the ignorant, or from those who have a bad intention, wanting to cause confusion among the Muslims. This is not permissible. Pray with the Muslims, praise be to Allah, and the calendar, praise be to Allah, is correct and precise. Responsible authorities are in charge of the calendar every year and they scrutinize it carefully. And we have witnessed this now: the adhan is called according to the calendar, and the imam delays the iqamah by a third of an hour or half an hour, and we pray. Otherwise, we would be praying in the daytime, in a clear and obvious daytime. How can he say that there is an error in the time with Allah? All of this is causing confusion among the people. Reject this claim and do not pay attention to it, and spread the word to those who say it, because this is an anomalous view seeking to cause confusion among the Muslims in their worship. Yes.
