Is it permissible to use a prayer timetable in a calendar that combines dates or prints times at multi-day intervals?
Short answer
Printing prayer times that combine several dates or use intervals such as 5 or 7 days for a single day is not permitted.

Summary
Printing prayer times that combine several dates or use intervals such as 5 or 7 days for a single day is not permitted. The permitted format is a day-by-day printout based on data from official bodies such as the Federal Territories Mufti Office. Differences in timing may cause a prayer to be performed before its time has begun, which renders the act of worship invalid.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Sehubungan itu, percetakan data waktu solat yang menggabungkan beberapa tarikh atau sela tarikh sama ada 5 atau 7 hari bagi satu hari adalah tidak dibenarkan.
