The First Adhan in the Last Ten Days of Ramadan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: Shaykh, in our country we do not hear the first adhan except in the last ten days of Ramadan. Is this practice prescribed, Shaykh?
Answer:
The first adhan is obligatory; if it is performed, that is better. If it is not performed, the adhan at the break of dawn is sufficient. The adhan at the break of dawn is the adhan that counts. As for the first adhan, it is only for notification, so that the one who is following [the prayer] may return and the one who wants to fast may eat the pre-dawn meal. It is a notification for the people. Yes.
