The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. A questioner says: In one of the mosques, the second adhan for Friday is called about fifteen minutes before the adhan for the midday prayer listed in the calendar. When one of the people in charge of this mosque was asked about it, he answered that Friday has specific rulings. Is this action valid? And if the women pray the midday prayer immediately after this adhan, is their prayer valid?
The Shaykh:
On Friday, it is permissible to call the adhan before the time, which is the first adhan, in order to alert people to go to the Friday prayer. This first adhan was established during the time of 'Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him), the third of the Rightly Guided Caliphs, when the people in Madinah increased, the houses became spread out, and he saw that people were occupied with buying, selling, and farming. He ordered the first adhan so that people would be alerted to the nearness of the Friday prayer, so they would prepare and go to it. There is no harm in there being a first adhan on Friday, just as there is a first adhan for the dawn prayer at the end of the night before the dawn, in order for people to wake up and prepare for the dawn prayer, and for the one who is praying the late-night voluntary prayer to know that the dawn is near so he can pray the witr. So these two prayers, the dawn prayer and the Friday prayer, it is recommended to have a first adhan before the adhan that corresponds to the entry of the time. The adhan for the midday prayer is the adhan when the imam enters; this is the adhan for the midday prayer. As for the one before it, that is the first adhan. It should not be that the time between the two adhans is close. The first adhan should be brought forward by at least an hour, an hour or more, so that people can prepare for the Friday prayer.
Yes, but the first adhan is not followed by prayer. It is not permissible for women to pray after the first adhan, because the time for the midday prayer has not entered. They owe the midday prayer, and the time for the midday prayer has not entered. Yes.
The questioner:
The questioner’s question is about the one who calls the second adhan before its time.
The Shaykh:
The second adhan is not permissible before the time. It is not permissible to call the second adhan before the time. Rather, it is when the imam enters. When the imam enters and sits on the pulpit, the adhan is called. This was the practice during the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The imam only enters upon the entry of the time, the entry of the time for the midday prayer. Yes.
