The ruling on praying before hearing the adhan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
At the end, you did well. The sister says: Is it permissible to pray before hearing the adhan?
Answer:
Prayer becomes obligatory only when the time enters. As for before the time enters, it is not valid. The adhan varies. If the mu'adhdhin is strict about the time, then it is not permissible to pray before the adhan, because the adhan is a sign of the time entering. However, if the mu'adhdhin, if the mu'adhdhin calls to prayer before the time enters and does not regulate the time, then it is not permissible, prayer is not valid based on the adhan that precedes the time. And if the mu'adhdhin delays after the time enters, then it is permissible, prayer is permissible before the adhan in that case; because the adhan is delayed from the time entering. The criterion is always and forever the entering of the time, not merely the adhan. Yes.
