The widespread talk about the early timing of Fajr in the calendar

Question:
There is talk circulating, O Shaykh, that is widespread, that the specified time for the Fajr prayer is five minutes to a quarter of an hour early.

Answer:
No, up to a third of an hour. They say this is incorrect, and experience shows that it is incorrect, because the mu'adhdhin calls to prayer according to the timing in the calendar, and we pray a quarter of an hour, a third of an hour, or at most half an hour after the adhan, and we leave when the light has already spread. If our prayer were early, we would leave in the darkness, as they say. But all of this is confusion for the people and excessive talk. And worse than that, they also delay fasting; they eat and drink after the people have started fasting, and they tell the people, "You are mistaken." They eat, drink, and have intercourse with their wives after the dawn has appeared, and they go against the people. All of this is false. Yes.
