Majority of Muslim here follow ISNA salat time for Isha and Fajar, which is 15 degree. According to the fatwa of Mufti Taqi Usmani, we follow 18 degree for both Isha and Fajar. If we follow 18 degree for Isha and fajar then Isha enters at 11:34pm (July 1st,2004) and Fajar starts at 2:59am (July 1st, 2004). Should we continue with 18 degree or follow ISNA method of 15 degree?

The creed which is similar to the creed issued by the honorable ‘mufti shafi’ should be followed. Usually, the Noor mosque of Chicago prints the timetables of professor ‘adbul lateef’ who had a group of people with him who worked on this project. We consider his research to be better and more accurate. We recommend you the same. In general, we recommend people to follow the timetables of Noor mosque.
