Time for Fajr Prayer
Issue No.681- The criterion for fajr adhān (whether it is a moonlit night or not) for prayer and fast, is the appearance of the morning twilight in the horizon, even though it may not be visible due to the moon shining in the sky. The time for fajr prayer begins from the true dawn (al-fajr al-ṣādiq) [1] and continues until sunrise. The true dawn is a whiteness which spreads out in the eastern horizon. It is better to offer fajr prayer during the first darkness in the morning before it becomes bright.
