How can we know the time of mid-night? Do 00.00 hours the point of mid-night as it is commonly held by some people?
Answer
Midnight is halfway between sunset and dawn (Fajr). So if the sun sets at 7 p.m. and the true begins at 4 a.m., then midnight will be at 11:30 p.m. The criteria for determining midnight are the timings of sunset and dawn, which differ according to a place and season.
