Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : A congregation, for example, intends to pray the obligatory prayer and wants to pray 'Isha'. When do they call the adhan? At the beginning of the time?
The Shaykh : They call the adhan at the time of the prayer, yes. That is, if they intend to delay the 'Isha' prayer, they call the adhan at the time of the prayer, as established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding the delay of the prayer. When Bilal wanted to call the adhan, he told him, "Delay it." Then when he wanted to call the adhan, he said, "Delay it." Then when he wanted to call the adhan the third time, he allowed him to call it when the time for the prayer arrived. However, if a person is in a town, it is known that it is more convenient for the people to call the adhan at the entry of the prayer time so that the people have the choice, yes.
