Is the dawn prayer delayed until the light spreads?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : ...

The Shaykh : This is the principle: the principle is that performing the prayer at the beginning of its time is the best, meaning the Fajr prayer. As for his saying (peace and blessings be upon him):
Perform Fajr at AI-Isfar, for indeed its reward is greater. أسفروا بالفجر فإنه أعظم لأجر
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 154Sahih (Darussalam)
, if this is authentic, the meaning is that you should not rush and pray before the dawn becomes clear, or the meaning is to spread out the prayer, meaning at its conclusion, which would be an allusion to lengthening the recitation in it.
