Astronomical Adhan and Its Preceding the Shari'ah Adhan in Fajr
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, he says: There has been much talk about the astronomical adhan preceding the Shari'ah adhan in the time of Fajr, and that whoever prays according to the astronomical adhan has an invalid prayer. We ask you to answer this matter?
Answer:
This is a false statement. The calendar has been tried and found to be accurate, praise be to Allah. It is not permissible to cast doubt on Muslims in their worship. If there is a problem in this, it should be referred to the scholars. Who is it that issues fatwas to people, casts doubt on their prayers, and confuses them? This is a wrong matter. No error has been found in the calendar, praise be to Allah. No error has been found in Abu al-Qura's calendar. He observed the dawn and observed the calendar, and saw that when the imam takes a third of an hour and then calls for prayer, when they finish, it is a clear daylight. I am tired of this; it indicates this. This is one of the false rumors, one of casting doubt on Muslims in their worship matters, and one of stirring up confusion, so this matter is not permissible.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
