However, the latest decision of the XXXI Tarjih National Conference revised this criterion to -18°. This change directly leads to a shift in the calculation of the time of Fajr, becoming backward in time by 8 minutes. This study was conducted to analyze more deeply the implications of the change in the criteria for determining the time of dawn, which resulted from the national deliberation of Islamic religious experts. Internal and external factors of the implementation of the Muhammadiyah Tarjih decision on the criteria for the beginning of Fajr time in the Muhammadiyah mosque in Medan City.
