What is the ruling on the adhan before the official adhan and advancing it before the time?

The questioner : My shaykh, I have a question. Is your wife observant? I told you she is observant outwardly, but I do not know about her inner state. As for me, I see that she is observant.

The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah. Hmm. Okay, I did not understand what your current job is?

The questioner : Right now, I am working as a mu'adhdhin in a mosque.

The Shaykh : The mu'adhdhin, meaning an employee of the Waqf? Yes. In Zarqa. In Zarqa, yes. Mm. How long have you been a mu'adhdhin?

The questioner : Months. Months. Yes, indeed.

The Shaykh : Or. And, if Allah wills, you are able to perform the adhan according to the Shari'ah. The adhan according to the Shari'ah, approximately, yes, praise be to Allah. Specifically. Specifically. Praise be to Allah. Yes, but there are some, if specifically, you copy approximately.

The questioner : Yes, but there are some... I had prepared questions. Some of the brothers say that the Zuhr prayer, I heard from Shaykh 'Ali that it is not... meaning, the adhan is called ten minutes before, and the 'Asr prayer is the same?

The Shaykh : No, the 'Asr prayer is closer to the morning.

The questioner : Closer to the drop.

The Shaykh : Yes, but the Zuhr, as you heard, but you have issues with the Fajr.

The questioner : The Fajr. Ah.

The Shaykh : Professor 'Ali must have told you.

The questioner : No, I did not speak about the Fajr, but that I...

The Shaykh : It is upon you.

The questioner : The Fajr is even more so, it is well known that for years we have been delaying the Fajr. But, I mean as an adhan. Because the announcement is for the entry of the time. Then the adhan is called without the entry of the time. The same issue that is in the Zuhr is in the Fajr, but the issue is greater if the time is wider.

The Shaykh : Meaning, if you are asking about the Zuhr adhan that precedes the prescribed time by ten minutes, then it is even more so that you should ask about

The questioner : About the time of need.

The Shaykh : The Fajr adhan that precedes the prescribed time by an amount ranging between one-third of an hour and half an hour,

The questioner : Yes, I used to adopt my own opinion, which was to call the adhan that we are bound by, and then I would call the adhan before the prayer alone, an adhan that I hear myself

The Shaykh : Good, and this adhan would be after the official adhan, so let us call it

The questioner : By twenty-five minutes.

The Shaykh : Where do you call the adhan?

The questioner : And I am standing.

The Shaykh : I did not ask you how you call the adhan?

The questioner : No, I mean, and I am standing, meaning I do not call an audible adhan.

The Shaykh : Where do you call the adhan? The second adhan

The questioner : The second adhan, where I am present.

The Shaykh : Where are you usually located, at home or in the mosque?

The questioner : I will be in the first or second row, or after the second row. Yes.

The Shaykh : Just relax. This is one of the effects of the transfer. You didn't like Yuba Ahmad. How many people usually gather with you in the mosque? In the morning.

The questioner : For Fajr, I don't go to the small one.

The Shaykh : You rarely go to the mosque.

The questioner : I rarely go to the mosque where the adhan is called because it is a long distance, so I am excused from it?

The Shaykh : How? Excused, and the adhan is called for the other four prayers?

The questioner : The adhan is called in the mosque, yes.

The Shaykh : How many are present, I mean, how many attend?

The questioner : Sometimes one row, or one and a half rows.

The Shaykh : And how many in a row, I mean, twenty, thirty, more?

The questioner : Yes, indeed.

The Shaykh : And do you give the Friday sermon? No. Yes.

The questioner : Sometimes, or rather not even sometimes, once I was forced to give the sermon, and the imam left me to deliver it, and I gave the sermon.

The Shaykh : Okay, and how is your work going?

The questioner : Praise be to Allah.

The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah. Okay, do you have any questions? Write them down?

The questioner : I just remembered, but the one who records it, sometimes, I mean, I either lose the notebook or I don't know where it went. So I want to ask, and the notebook is not with me. So I search for it with difficulty, and after a moment, if the notebook is in front of me, I mean. Ah. Yes, indeed.
