I've heard that in timetables in the UK, subh sadiq (sehri ends) is written on timetables as being up to 5 minutes early than it actually is? The reason for this is due to the ulama of Deoband take into account that clocks may be fast and in order to be completely certain, they say that the fast begins around 5 minutes earlier than the real time.

Is this true?

Also, if it is true, then that means that if someone were to accidentally eat or drink thinking they have time before the fast starts, the fast would technically still count because the time written is not the actual time that fast fast starts, yes?

Does anyone have answers for this?

Jazakallah Khair
