Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The questioner says: In our area, the adhan for the 'Isha' prayer is called at 8:05 according to the calendar. He says: In our area, the adhan for the 'Isha' prayer is called at 8:05 according to the calendar. One day the mu'adhdhin made a mistake and called the adhan at 7:30. The people gathered, and after twenty minutes the iqamah was called and they prayed. What is the ruling on their prayer?

Answer:
If they prayed at the correct time, the prayer is valid, even if the adhan was early. The important thing is performing the prayer; if it is at the correct time after the time has entered, it is valid, and praise be to Allah. Even if the mu'adhdhin made a mistake. However, if the prayer was before the time, it must be repeated because it is not valid before its time. Yes.
