Yes.

The error in regulating the calendar for the times of prayer, which involves both advancing and delaying, especially regarding the Fajr prayer.

Also, a question.

The questioner:
I will speak about the Umm al-Qura calendar and similar ones.

The Shaykh:
Whoever sees an error in it should write to the responsible authority, writing to the Ministry of Islamic Affairs. If he believes he has seen an error, he should write to the responsible authority, so that the matter is addressed by the authority we are under. Whoever sees an error should denounce the error, for religion is sincere advice, and you enjoin one another with truth, and you enjoin one another with patience.
