The Ruling on Praying Before the Time of the Prayer Begins
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, a questioner says: What is the ruling on praying a few minutes before the adhan, and does the one who did this have to repeat the prayer?
Answer:
The prayer is not valid except in its time. When its time enters, it is prayed. As for before the time enters, it is not permissible to pray it except in the case of combining the two prayers by advancing them, for those who are permitted to combine. Otherwise, every prayer is prayed in its time. Allah the Exalted said:[An-Nisa 4:103] [An-Nisa 4:103]. So if the adhan is called at the entry of the time, the prayer before it is not valid. But if the adhan is delayed after the entry of the time, the criterion is the entry of the time, even if the adhan is not called. However, if it is connected to the congregation, he goes to the mosque and prays with the congregation. Yes.

But when you become secure, re-establish [regular] prayer. Indeed, prayer has been decreed
فَإِذَا اطْمَأْنَنتُمْ فَأَقِيمُوا الصَّلَاةَ إِنَّ الصَّلَاةَ كَانَتْ عَلَىupon the believers a decree of specified times.
