Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Shaykh, if the mu'adhdhin forgets to say “Prayer is better than sleep” in the Fajr adhan?

Answer:
If he forgets it, let him say it, if the time is near and he has not left the place, he says “Prayer is better than sleep” and what follows it in the adhan, and he completes his adhan with that. But if he has gone far and left, he repeats the adhan from the beginning with all its phrases, including “Prayer is better than sleep” twice. Yes, this is for the Fajr adhan, yes.
