I have moved to Pakistan from Saudi and the prayer timings here are confusing and weird. Instead of following the local masjid can I follow the timings on the fajr clock? (for fajr- the masjid gives Azan at around 5:30 am but according to fajr clock it’s at 5:08 am) And for asr the Hanafi method is followed by the local masjid, can I follow the shafii method?

This question is connected to one I asked some weeks ago about the ruling on paying blood money by a Dr Who may have caused the abortion of a 12 week (84day) old foetus and you said the general conclusion was that paying blood money was not needed if it’s less than 120 days but you were silent on if the freeing of a slave or fasting 60 days was still expected.

A friend mentioned that “One” may be improper to translate “Ahad” (in context of the Tawheed of Allah).
