Relying on the Umm al-Qura Calendar for the Fajr Adhan

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Some of the brothers say that there is an advance in the Fajr adhan in the Umm al-Qura calendar, and we are approaching Ramadan, and some imams advance the iqamah slightly. We want the definitive statement from your eminence, especially with the entry of this noble month. May Allah bless you.

Answer:
My brother, the Umm al-Qura calendar is a calendar approved by the state and approved by the general public, praise be to Allah, and no error has been found in it. I think those who say there is an error in it are the ones who are mistaken in that. It is an approved and tested calendar, and the Muslims still rely on it. So there is no room for casting doubt on this calendar that the Muslims rely on, which is an official and approved calendar, and no error has been found in it. Rather, these are rumors intended to cause confusion among the people, or they do not know that they are mistaken in that. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you
