Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, this questioner says: If the mu'adhdhin in the mosque is delayed by three minutes in calling the adhan and has not arrived, am I permitted to call the adhan before he comes?

Answer:
Three minutes is a short time. If more than three minutes have passed and he has not arrived, then call the adhan. As for just three minutes, he may be at the door. Yes. It has ended, may Allah grant you success.
