    Default Confusion about Asr prayer times in Germany

    When I see the prayer time in the following website , they mention that according to Hanafi Madjhab , Asr startinng time is not equal tp the Asr time in non-Hanafi Madjhab.

    http://www.islamicfinder.org/cityPra...ountry=germany

    Now in addition to this website , I have two other prayer time tables -one from the Turkish mosque (Hanafi Madjhab) and another is from an Arabic mosque who follows Shafi Madjhab , most probably. Now , in both of these time tables, the Asr beginning time is almost the same. But , this similarity is in conflict with Islamic finder time table.

    Which one should I follow ? Any clarification , please ??

    PS. The Turkish mosque as mentioned above is actually managed by a Turkish group related to Grey Wolves as described in the following link.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grey_Wolves

    The mosque gets the time table from this organization.

    I don't know for your specific case, but I experienced some problems too with IslamicFinder timetable.
    I think you should follow your local mosque timing.

    I also think following the local mosque time is safe rather than
    depending on the Islamic Finder Table.

    Asslamo Allaikum,

    The algorithm for calculating Prayer Times for High-latitude countries on islamicfinder "was" incorrect and many Brothers tried to explain their error in detail to them...And they didn't fix it...I don't know now.

    Look at your local paper (or figure out your sunrise/sunset) and you should have a fairly good idea about your prayer times, Insha'Allah.

    Basically has the Ummah forgotten how to naturally look and determine Prayertimes? I know that its convenient to look at the computer but also look at the sun.

    salamz, both imaam's i.e hanifa and shafee (r.a)
    have prooved that their asr tmes are calculated correctly,
    both are correct and Allah will accept your salaat,
    but your better off following your local mosque, to save your community from differenciation
