Is it permissible to delay the adhan in the university prayer hall?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Shaykh, may Allah reward you. Is it valid to delay the adhan for the Zuhr prayer in the university prayer hall by twenty minutes or more, given that the iqamah is set for 12:30?
The Shaykh : Meaning, so that the adhan is at the time of the prayer?
The questioner : The adhan is a quarter of an hour before the iqamah.
The Shaykh : Yes, there is nothing wrong with it, as long as they do not disturb others. If they are disturbing others, for example, by being on a roof and causing noise for people, then it is not permissible. Also, if they are in the middle of the city, the adhan of the city is sufficient for them because they can hear it.
The questioner : They do not hear it.
The Shaykh : They do not hear it; there is nothing wrong with it.
