Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Abu 'Abd al-'Aziz from Yanbu', please, Abu 'Abd al-'Aziz. Peace be upon you and Allah's mercy and blessings. And upon you be peace and Allah's mercy and blessings. Shaykh, I have an inquiry regarding the onset of the Fajr prayer. I am aware of the statements of Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan and Shaykh Ibn Baz, but some of the young men, may Allah guide them, say that the safest course is to sit for ten minutes after the time has entered, after the adhan, and then pray. Is this a correct practice, or should we declare it wrong? Shaykh, may Allah bless you. Thank you.
The Shaykh:
What is the question?
The questioner:
He says: Regarding advancing and exercising caution after the Fajr adhan, some imams exercise caution, Shaykh?
The Shaykh:
What is the caution?
The questioner:
Caution regarding the adhan.
The Shaykh:
The adhan: when the dawn appears, the adhan is called at the appearance of the dawn, at the beginning of the dawn's appearance. Now, if he sees the dawn, that is fine. If he does not see it, he relies on the calendar, the Umm al-Qura calendar, which is the approved one. Yes. The one that the authority has approved and disseminated to the Muslims, he relies on it. Yes.
