The ruling on delaying the Fajr prayer based on the belief that the adhan is late
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Abu Adib says in this question, O long-lived Shaykh, there has been a lot of talk about it. And this is what he says regarding the issue that has been much discussed, which is this issue concerning the Fajr prayer. The minarets and the mu'adhdhin call the adhan before the time by about half an hour, relying on the calendar. But some people delay and do not perform this prayer, and they perform it after the dawn has risen. What is the ruling on that?
Answer:
This is a lie. Their claim that the Fajr adhan is before Fajr by half an hour or a third of an hour is a lie, a source of confusion for the soul. The Fajr adhan is according to the approved calendar that the state has adopted and the scholars have endorsed, and there is no error in it. This is a lie, and it is not permissible to act upon it. This has divided the people. It has made some of them not pray except after the people have prayed, some not fast except after the people have fasted, and some have intercourse with their wives in Ramadan based on this claim. We ask Allah for safety from this. It is necessary to warn against this statement and its proponents.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you and bless you.
