Issues on determination of-accurate Fajr and Dhuha prayer times according to Fiqh and astronomical perspectives in Malaysia: a bibliography study

Abstract

The determination of accurate times for Fajr and
 Dhuha prayers in Malaysia is faced with issues of differing
 views in the fixation of the parameters of the sun's altitude used
 in the calculation of astronomy, especially in Malaysia.
 Therefore, this study aims to identify issues and problems in the
 methods used in determining the accurate times for both these
 prayers through a literature review of previous research studies.
 The results show the need to review the parameters of sun
 altitude used in calculating prayer times for both these prayers
 through observations in changes in the brightness of the early
 morning light for distinguish of true dawn and false dawn for
 the Fajr prayers and the length of the shadow for Dhuha payer
 by collecting data from all the states throughout Malaysia.
