False dawn is commonly described as light rising in a more vertical shape; darkness follows it and it does not begin the Fajr time.
True dawn spreads horizontally across the eastern horizon. This is the meaning of “horizontal whiteness.” It begins Fajr and ends the pre-dawn eating time for fasting.
The prayer does not begin merely because some light appears: it is the true, spreading dawn that matters.
