If we delay the 'Isha' prayer from the beginning of its time, should the adhan be called at the beginning of the time, or should we delay it until the time of the prayer?

The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: If we want to delay the prayer from the beginning of its time, such as 'Isha' for example, should the adhan be called at the beginning of the time, or should we delay it?

The Shaykh:
What is it?

The questioner:
If we want to delay the prayer from the beginning of its time, such as 'Isha' for example, should the adhan be called at the beginning of the time, or should we delay it until we want to pray?

The Shaykh:
If you are in a country where you pray with the people and do not delay or call the adhan, the adhan of the one who calls is sufficient; pray with the people in the mosque. But if you are in the desert or in a place where there are no mosques around you, there is no harm in delaying it, and without an adhan, the adhan for the entry of the time is sufficient. Yes, that is the end. Allah the Exalted knows best.
