Title: Day Light Saving in USA
Post by: Sardar Miyan on November 26, 2015, 01:10:25 AM
There is Day Light saving method practiced in USA but I don't know if other western countries are also
following this method. I just wanted to know if this method can affect our Salath Timings? I think that is affecting but to be safe we have to discuss it.

Asalamu alykum Sardar Miyan

I believe other countries also use the day light savings to make use of the light thats available to suit there day to day lifestyles. That does not change the moment a prayer starts and finishes. But the timing of the prayers have to also be pushed back on the clock. The clock is just a referance point to which people can all relate to.

The prayers are not effected because they are affected by the sun. It does not matter how people tell time according to the clock they use. The prayers remain constant as we cannot change the way the sun moves.

Hope that help God willing

Peace

In my Opinion, Periods of the day matters, not the clock. You may experience  little differences on salat intervals between periods. You gotta be prepared for that kinda issues.
