AL-KAFI #1638 : PASCA PERUBAHAN WAKTU SUBUH; ADAKAH WAKTU SYURUK DAN IMSAK BERUBAH?
After the Subuh time in the calendar was changed, do the Syuruk and Imsak times change as well?
Short answer
The Syuruk time does not change, because it is determined by the sunrise, which marks the end of the Subuh period, and it is unrelated to when Subuh begins.

Summary
The Syuruk time does not change, because it is determined by the sunrise, which marks the end of the Subuh period, and it is unrelated to when Subuh begins. The Imsak time does change, as it is a precautionary period before Subuh for those fasting. In most states' calendars Imsak is set 10 minutes before Subuh, so it follows the new Subuh time.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Justeru, disebabkan telah berlaku perubahan pada takwim permulaan waktu solat Subuh, maka waktu Imsak juga perlu berubah kerana waktu Imsak terkait dengan waktu permulaan waktu Subuh.
