Permissibility of praying without the adhan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question: I have heard that prayer is not permissible without an adhan. I work alone in the field, and I pray, praise be to Allah, but without an adhan. Is my prayer permissible or not? If it is not permissible, what should I do regarding the previous prayers? Please advise us, may Allah reward you with the best of good.
Answer: Prayer is permissible without an adhan and is valid. However, the adhan is an independent act of worship; it is an announcement of the entry of the time and a symbol of Islam. It has great virtue, so one should maintain it. The adhan is for every time when it enters, even if a person is alone. It is recommended for him to call the adhan and then pray, for in that there is great virtue and a great reward.
The Shaykh: As for if a person prays, or a congregation prays, without an adhan, their prayer is valid, but they miss the reward of the adhan and the reward of the adhan. And Allah knows best.
