The questioner : Is the adhan valid if it is given a few minutes or more after the time has passed?
The Shaykh : First, the adhan in a village, whether large or small, must be given within the time, because the people's prayer is linked to this adhan. However, if a person is traveling and the people sleep and do not wake up until the sun has risen, they give the adhan. This is because when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and his Companions slept while traveling until the sun rose, they moved from their place to another place, then the mu'adhdhin gave the adhan, and they prayed the Fajr sunnah, then they prayed the Fajr prayer aloud, just as they do every day. This indicates that the adhan is given for the prayer, even if it is after the time has passed.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
