A fatwa of the Permanent committee has the following statement: "...the night begins from the sunset and lasts until the emergence of the second Fajr."
On fatwaislam.com it says, "...and the day, according to the Islamic law, is from the time of sunrise until sunset ..."
However, on [url=http://bakkah.net/articles/eshaa.htm]bakkah.net[/url] footnote no. 5 it says, "The night is from the setting of the sun to the entrance of the True Fajr, as agreed upon by the scholars."
I have also heard a lecture by one of the mashaykh(most probably it was either Shaykh Muhammad Amaan al-Jaami or Shaykh Saalim at-Taweel) in which he said the day according to Shariah is from Fajr to Sunset and not Sunrise to Sunset and night is as mentioned on bakkah.net above.
Is there a translation mistake on fatwaislam or is there a difference of opinion amongst Ulemah on this topic?
