KUALA LUMPUR, April 21 — The congregrants of Masjid Al-Khairiyah, Taman Seri Gombak, in Kuala Lumpur need to replace their fast yesterday as they broke it early due to the mosque mistakenly playing the “azan”, or call to prayer, three minutes earlier.
In a statement, the mosque’s “nazir” or administrator Wan Nawawi Wan Dagang said that the error occurred due to a technical problem on the digital display of the call to prayer time at the mosque.
“Congregants who rely solely on the Maghrib call to prayer from Al-Khairiyah Mosque to break their fast, please know that your fast is void on that day and needs to be replaced,” he said in a statement.
Muslims fast between the prayer times of “fajr” at dawn, to “maghrib” at dusk.
