The ruling on praying Fajr before its time has entered, relying on the mu'adhdhin
His Eminence the Shaykh: What is the ruling on a group of Muslims who pray Fajr before its time has entered, not intentionally, but in verification of one who does not know how to distinguish the white thread from the black thread, and they trust this man?
As long as they are confident in him and know that this man has knowledge of the entry of the time, they owe nothing; because it did not become clear to them that they prayed before the time. So if it does not become clear to them, they take the word of this man in whom they have confidence, and there is no blame on them.
But a person should be scrupulous as long as he is in doubt; so he should not pray until he is convinced or certain. And he should alert the congregation to that,He advises them and says: waiting five minutes or ten minutes or a quarter of an hour is better than him advancing by one minute.
