It is observed that some mu'adhdhins delay the adhan by one to two minutes in most cases, especially for Fajr and Maghrib. If you ask them why they do not adhere to the Umm al-Qura calendar,They say: they say, "We do this to be more certain." Is their action correct?
There is no harm in being cautious by one or two minutes, especially for Fajr. The Umm al-Qura calendar advances by five minutes. Therefore, one must be careful in this matter and wait five minutes before praying. As for the mu'adhdhins, as you know, some call the adhan according to the Umm al-Qura time, some are ahead of it, and some are significantly behind it.
