Determining the time of prayer in countries without a time schedule

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: We are in some European countries where we do not have a general time schedule by which we know the entry of the prayer, but we have the independent legal reasoning (ijtihad) of individuals. Sometimes we pray according to the time schedule of neighboring countries. Is what we do correct?

Answer:
Yes, estimate it by estimation based on the closest country to you; estimate it according to that. This is what the independent legal reasoning of the fiqh academies has reached: that they determine the times based on the closest country to them. Yes.
