Question:
Honorable Shaykh, the questioner says: A man delays the adhan for the 'Asr prayer by two or three minutes. Is this considered a failure in the adhan?
Answer:
Yes, he should not delay. He should call the adhan when the time enters and not delay, because delaying has no benefit. Rather, others may follow his example, and the mu'adhdhins may delay the adhan when the time enters. Yes.
