Is it permissible to call the adhan for Fajr before its time?

Question:
The questioner asks: Is it permissible to call the adhan for Fajr outside its time, meaning not within its proper time, because they force it and set a time outside the lawful time?

Answer:
It is permissible to call the adhan for Fajr before the time enters, so that people can prepare for the Fajr prayer. The one who intends to fast can get up and eat the pre-dawn meal. It is permissible to advance the adhan before Fajr by a duration that allows people to prepare for fasting and prepare for the prayer. The evidence for this is that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had Bilal calling the adhan at night, and he said, "Eat and drink until Ibn Umm Maktum calls the adhan." So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had two mu'adhdhins: one who called the adhan before Fajr to alert people to the nearness of Fajr, and the second who called the adhan at the appearance of Fajr so that people would pray the obligatory prayer and the fasting person would fast. This is the matter. However, it is not permissible to call only the first adhan and not the second, because that deceives people. If he calls the first adhan, he must call the adhan at Fajr. Yes.
