The Adhan in the Open Field for the 'Isha' Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, we are a group that goes out to the open field, and at the time of the 'Isha' prayer, do we call the adhan immediately when the time enters, or do we delay it until we perform the prayer if we intend to delay it?
Answer:
Pray, and call the adhan when you want to pray, because your adhan does not affect anyone. Then, regarding the ruling, if the adhan is delayed, it does not cause confusion for one person or affect anyone, so you call the adhan when you pray. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) combined the prayers at Muzdalifah for the 'Isha' prayer, he called the adhan for Maghrib, then ordered the iqamah, and they prayed Maghrib. Then he ordered the iqamah a second time, and they prayed 'Isha'. So you call the adhan when you want to pray. However, if you are in the town, you do not call an adhan that confuses people or disturbs people.
