The Ruling on the Mu'adhdhin Delaying the Adhan After the Time Has Entered
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: Is it permissible for the mu'adhdhin to call the adhan five minutes after the time has entered?
Answer:
No, the mu'adhdhin is a trustee of the time. When the time enters, he calls the adhan and does not delay. If he delays, he does not call the adhan so as not to deceive the people, especially during the time of fasting. The time of fasting is Fajr; if he delays, he deceives them, and they eat and drink after the appearance of Fajr, so it becomes a sin on his account? If something happens to him that causes a delay of five minutes or so, he does not call the adhan; the adhan of the others is sufficient so as not to deceive the people. Yes.
