Your Eminence the Shaykh! In our current time, there is a clock called the Asr clock that determines the times in many cities and countries. What is your opinion of it?
Answer:
If you have tried it and found that it is accurate, there is nothing wrong with it. The important thing is the trials. If it is known that it is accurate and that the time it determines, by testing it, is correct, there is nothing wrong with it.
