Deputy Vice Chairman of the Branch Manager of Nahdlatul Ulama (PCNU) Lumajang Regency, KH Ahmad Qusyairi, explained that the time of imsak has not yet entered the fasting time, so it is still allowed to do things like eating and drinking. According to the explanation of the cleric in a study during the month of Ramadan, the time of imsak is a time to be cautious. This is likened to the yellow light on a traffic light.

However, according to Kiai Qusyairi, a Muslim who will fast must still pay attention to the available time seriously. It should not be careless, do not rely solely on the imsak broadcast usually aired in the mosque or mushala. "So, look at the imsakiyah schedule, match the time, it means he must make ijtihad there. Don't just rely on the broadcast, because, you know, people can make mistakes," he said.

Thus, if there are still those who question the timing of imsak, then it is regrettable. They claim that there was no imsak time during the time of the Prophet. Whereas it is clear that the imsak time is very beneficial for laypeople like us to remind ourselves before entering the fasting period. "This is the initiative of our scholars as a solution to the community, don't just be able to criticize innovations," said Kiai Qusyairi.
