Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: In this morning, I started drinking water, and then the second adhan began. When the second adhan started, I continued to swallow what was in my mouth.
Answer:
It was obligatory for you to stop drinking water when the adhan was called; that is what was obligatory for you. But since you had already put water in your mouth when the adhan started, and the water was entering your mouth, there is no harm in swallowing what entered your mouth. There is no harm in swallowing it. However, drinking after the adhan is called is not permissible. But if you were drinking and had not heard the adhan, and then the adhan was called while you were drinking, stop drinking and swallow what is in your mouth; there is no harm in that.
