Explanation

Fard Kifayah (Communal Obligation) is a duty that is obligatory on the Muslim community as a whole.

The obligation is fulfilled if a sufficient number of individuals within that community carry it out.

If enough people perform the act, the rest of the community is absolved of the duty.

A prime example is the Salat al-Janaza (funeral prayer).

Once a group of Muslims performs the funeral prayer for the deceased, the obligation is met for the entire community.

Explanation

Fajr prayer time begins at Subh Sadiq (true dawn), when light first appears on the horizon, and ends at sunrise.

True Dawn (Al-Fajr Al-Sadiq):

• A horizontal, widespread glow on the horizon that grows brighter.

False Dawn (Al-Fajr Al-Kadhib):

• A vertical, fleeting light that appears before true dawn and is followed by darkness, which is not the start of Fajr time.
