Using google to determine when sehri time ends

· 24 Rabiʻ II 1448 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

According to Google it says that sehri ends at 4:39am. I asked my grandmother and she told me sehri ends at 4:32am. I didn't know sehri ends at 4:32 because when I seen on Google, it told me sehri ends at 4:39 so I followed Google time when sehri ends.

Answer

Follow what you are clear about. The timing is not based on Google. And Google in our understanding is the development of a kaafir and a kaafir's word cannot be accepted in deeni matters.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
