Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: In our neighborhood mosque, during the adhan for the midday prayer, when the mu'adhdhin said "Hayya 'ala al-falah" (Hasten to success), he then said "Al-salah khayrun min al-nawm" (Prayer is better than sleep). Then he remembered his mistake and repeated the adhan from the beginning. Is his action valid?
Answer:
It is not obligatory. He corrects the mistake and continues with his adhan, building on what came before. Yes.
