Our first question from brother Anouk from the Netherlands

He asks about in the month of Ramadan the timings of Surur and he says he is confused because he has heard a lot of this

Controversy about the angle some say 14 degrees some 15 some 18 and to add to this sister Muniza from the Emirates

Ask that in her prayer app. She has the option of choosing multiple timings for Fajr and for Isha

Where is this controversy coming from and what should the Muslim average Muslim do in order to figure out what time they should stop eating and drinking

You follow the timetables that your

Islamic affairs ministry that your Mufti provides and you leave it at that

You individually are not going to break away from the jama'a or from the

Congregation of Muslims and whatever timings that the official ministry announces
