The Adhan for Fajr Before the Time Enters and the Fajr Prayer After It

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Regarding the permissibility of the Fajr adhan after midnight, before the time enters: Is it permissible to pray the Fajr prayer before the time enters, after the adhan?

Answer:
No, it is not permissible, and it does not count. It is not permissible and does not count except after the time enters. As for the one who calls the adhan before Fajr, they said he must call the second adhan so as not to mislead the people, or there must be another mu'adhdhin who calls the adhan after Fajr, as was the case with Bilal and Abdullah ibn Umm Maktum. So one should not rely on the first adhan alone, lest he mislead the people. The first adhan is called so that people wake up. The one who performs tahajjud, and Allah is the source of help, should also lighten his tahajjud and prepare for Fajr, so that he does not think the night is still remaining. And the one who is sleeping gets up, performs wudu', and prepares.
This first adhan is for that purpose. As for the Fajr prayer, it is based on the second adhan, and fasting is based on the second adhan.
