Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling if one forgets to say “prayer is better than sleep” in the Fajr adhan before the prayer? Does he have to repeat the entire adhan, or is it valid?
Answer:
If the time has lengthened, you repeat the adhan in its entirety. However, if the time has not lengthened, you say “prayer is better than sleep” to append it to the adhan, provided there was not a long interval between them.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
