The question

Considering Sheikh Muhammad bin Saleh Al-Uthaymeen's fatwa that the well-known time for Fajr is incorrect, and the testimony of the specialist committee that Umm Al-Qura's timing is 17 minutes earlier, and the competent authority's advancement of the iqama (call to start prayer) to fifteen minutes from the adhan (call to prayer), is it obligatory to abandon congregational prayer in mosques and limit oneself to praying at home, or to pray before the actual time of Fajr prayer?

The answer

It has been previously stated that the Adhan may precede the true time of Fajr. If you are residing in Jordan, what is said about the timing of the Adhan in another country (such as Saudi Arabia) should not be generalized to your country, except after verifying it.
