The ruling on performing the prayer before the adhan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
A Salih listener whose name was not mentioned says: What is the ruling on performing the prayer before the adhan by two or three minutes, and is there any evidence prohibiting that?
The Shaykh:
Yes, do not pray before the time, even by one or two minutes. You only pray when the time has entered. If you do not know when the time has entered, you must listen to the mu'adhhdhins. When they call, you pray. Yes.
The presenter:
What is the evidence for the obligation of the time?
The Shaykh:
[An-Nisa 4:103] Any that are obligatory at specific times, as the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) specified by his words and his actions. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence the Shaykh
