The Time for the Fajr Prayer and Reliance on the Timetable

Question:
This questioner asks, Shaykh, about the stronger position regarding the entry of the time for the Fajr prayer, where the Muslim begins performing the two rak'ahs and the Fajr prayer. Is the one who prays twenty minutes before the specified time between the adhan and the iqamah considered to have prayed before the time and the appearance of the true dawn? We ask for clarification on this.

Answer:
Praise be to Allah. Now we have an accurate timetable; the Umm al-Qura calendar is the standard, serving as an indicator of the appearance of dawn. A Muslim looks at it if he does not have mu'adhdhins (callers to prayer). However, if he hears the adhan, he is content with the adhan, especially if more than one person calls to prayer. This is evidence of the appearance of dawn. As for the prayer, once the dawn appears, he may pray, unless he is tied to a congregation, in which case he waits for the congregation and prays with them. Yes.
