Fixing the time for the 'Asr adhan at a fixed hour in the company

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: We work in a private company, and the company has fixed the time for the 'Asr adhan at 3:30 every day of the year. As you know, the time for the adhan changes to before this time. We pray in congregation with the changing adhan times before the mentioned time. What is the ruling on that? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
It is not permissible to control the entry of the time and the adhan. Because this varies according to the time, advancing and retreating according to the seasons of the year, according to the zodiac signs, and according to the positions of the sun. So it is not permissible to fix a specific thing for the whole year. Rather, the time varies. So when the time enters, they pray. They may delay as long as they are within the time. They may delay, but the adhan is to be at the beginning of the time, not delayed to the end. It is to be at the beginning of the time to announce the entry of the time and so that they do not disturb others if they are around people and around houses, so they do not disturb them with a delayed adhan and mislead them. Yes.
