Sometimes I worry that these times may not be accurate. Typically, I will use the local masjjid’s website to find the times of adhan. \\n\\nThe times on the websites are different than what my family sees on other apps. For example, I was advised to use an app (Muslim Pro) to find “more accurate” times, since the app can use the Muslim World League or Diyanet calculations which have specific sun angles. I’m also confused because depending on how far in advance you look, the salah times may change by a few minutes by the time the salah times actually comes in. \\n\\nI try to pray as soon as the adhan comes in, but it’s becoming a problem now because my family says I am praying in the wrong time. Especially with Ramadan, sometimes we are starting and breaking our fasts earlier or later than one another. I don’t want to ask too much of my family or overwhelm them since some of them have a delicate relationship with their deen, but I don’t know what the best way to go about this is. \\n\\nWhat are the most accurate prayer times? What should I do?\\n\"}]}","answer":"{\"ops\":[{\"insert\":\"My sincere advice is to use 18 degrees for Fajr, as it is much safer given our inability to accurately observe fajr in our area.\\n\\nFor breaking the fast, since we rely on calculations to determine sunset and there is a one-degree margin of error, I recommend waiting for the number of minutes that equal a one-degree margin of error, after the calculated time, before breaking your fast, as a precaution.\\n\\nThis should not be a source of tension within the family. InshaAllah, this helps.\\n\"}]}","tags":[{"_id":"668da00c0b76658b4c232ca7","tag":"Salah: Timings","count":52},{"_id":"668d9fee0b76658b4c232963","tag":"Fasting: Other","count":26}],"createdOn":"2024-07-09T20:41:13.877Z"}
