His Eminence the Shaykh: Some people have a custom where they pray before the adhan consistently. What is the ruling on that?
This is not correct.For example: It is not permissible to pray before the Maghrib adhan; because it is a time of prohibition, and prayer is not permissible in a time of prohibition except for a reason.For example: If he wants to pray before the imam arrives on Friday, this might be before the sun reaches its zenith. Prayer is prohibited before the zenith except for a reason. So in some cases, he cannot pray because it is forbidden. But if it is an adhan that does not have a time of prohibition before it, making that a custom means he is establishing a sunnah. It is not permissible for a person to establish a sunnah except with permission from the Shari'ah.
