Question:
Honorable Shaykh, the questioner says: If a group of young men go out to the desert and want to delay the 'Isha' prayer until nine o'clock, does one of them call the adhan when they pray, or is the iqamah alone sufficient?
Answer:
If there are people around them who might be misled by their adhan or disturbed by it, if they are in the desert, they should call the adhan when they intend to pray; there is no harm in that, and it is better. Yes. And if they call the adhan at the beginning of the time and remain until the time they wish to perform the prayer, there is no harm. That is, they may advance the adhan and delay the prayer, or they may delay both the adhan and the prayer, but on the condition that the adhan does not disturb those around them. Yes.
