The pre-Zuhr sunnah prayer is performed after the adhan

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you well. Also, our sister asks: When is the time for the sunnah prayer, which is the four rak'ahs before the Zuhr prayer? Is it performed immediately after the adhan for Zuhr, or before the adhan? I heard that it is not permissible to perform it after the adhan and before the obligatory prayer. Is this correct?

Answer:
This is not correct. The rawatib (regular voluntary prayers) for the pre-Zuhr prayer are performed after the time has entered, after the time for Zuhr has entered, whether the mu'adhdhin (one who calls to prayer) has called or not. When the sun passes the zenith of the sky toward the west, the time for Zuhr has entered. At that point, the rawatib before Zuhr is prayed, whether before the mu'adhdhin's adhan or after the mu'adhdhin's adhan. The important thing is the entry of the time. Yes.
