Please read this Disclaimer carefully before utilizing the prayer schedules, astronomical calculations, religious references, and financial calculation tools provided on Salatify (https://salatify.com).
1. Prayer Times & Astronomical Calculations
The daily prayer timings displayed on Salatify (Fajr, Sunrise, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, Isha, Tahajjud, Ishraq, and Chasht) are generated via astronomical algorithms based on coordinates and twilight depression angles. Users must be aware that:
- Atmospheric & Elevation Factors: Atmospheric refraction, temperature inversions, altitude above sea level, and horizon topography can affect physical sunrise and sunset times by 1 to 3 minutes.
- Calculation Conventions: Different recognized calculation conventions (e.g., Karachi 18°/18°, MWL 18°/17°, ISNA 15°/15°, Umm al-Qura) yield different Fajr and Isha times. Users are urged to select the calculation method recommended by the local Islamic authority of their region.
- Congregational (Iqamah) Times: Salatify displays the Awwal Waqt (beginning time) of prayer. Congregation (Iqamah) times are decided by individual Masjid boards. Always confirm with your local Mosque for Jama’at times.
2. Religious Fiqh & Fatwa Disclaimer
Salatify is an educational web portal designed to promote prayer punctuality and Islamic mindfulness. The content published on this portal—including Hadith references, Fiqh summaries, Duas, and scholar biographies—is compiled from classical and mainstream contemporary Sunni scholarship for general educational benefit. Salatify does not operate as an Islamic Court or Darul Ifta. In situations of personal marital disputes, inheritance distribution, complex Fiqh dilemmas, or medical fasting dispensations, you must consult a certified local Islamic scholar or Mufti.
3. Zakat & Financial Estimations Disclaimer
The Salatify Zakat Calculator provides an approximate estimate based on user-entered values and standard Nisab thresholds (87.48 grams of 24k Gold or 612.36 grams of Silver). Because market commodity prices of gold and silver fluctuate daily across international bullion markets, users are responsible for verifying local spot prices in their home currency before discharging their obligatory Zakat.
4. Qibla Direction Compass
The online Qibla Compass uses spherical trigonometry (the Great Circle formula) to calculate the true bearing from your coordinates to the Holy Kaaba in Makkah (21.4225° N, 39.8262° E). If utilizing mobile device magnetometers, local electromagnetic interference (metallic objects, high-voltage wires, indoor concrete reinforcement) can affect magnetic compass accuracy. We recommend cross-referencing with physical landmarks or solar alignment where feasible.
5. External Scholar Content & Media
References to Islamic scholars, lecture videos, and Quranic recitations are provided strictly for educational and Da’wah purposes. Salatify is an independent non-sectarian initiative dedicated to authentic Islamic teachings.
