Benefits of the Hadith: (Ibn 'Umar and 'Aishah said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:

The Shaykh : The adhan after the prayer, after the time has passed. Among the benefits of this hadith is the permissibility of appointing a blind person as the mu'adhdhin. The reason is that 'Abdullah ibn Umm Maktum was blind, yet the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) appointed him as the mu'adhdhin, but on the condition that he has knowledge of the time, either by himself or through someone else. Did Ibn Umm Maktum have knowledge of the time by himself or through someone else? Through someone else. Yes. As for appointing a blind mu'adhdhin who does not know the time by himself and has no one to inform him of it, that is not permissible, because it is a condition for the mu'adhdhin to be knowledgeable about the time. Among the benefits of this hadith is the permissibility of the mu'adhdhin relying on the report of another person, based on his saying:

And he was a blind man who did not call the adhan until it was said: "It is morning, it is morning."

وكان رجلا أعمى لا يؤذن حتى يقال : أصبحت أصبحت

but on the condition that this other person is trustworthy, knows the times, and is not a liar; rather, he is trustworthy in terms of truthfulness and in terms of expertise. Among the benefits of this hadith is the permissibility for the fasting person to eat and drink until the dawn becomes clear and distinct. We take this from the saying of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him):

for he does not pronounce it till it is dawn.

فإنه لا يؤذن حتى يطلع الفجر

Sahih al-Bukhari 1918, 1919

And this is the indication of the Noble Qur'an, as Allah the Exalted said:

So now, have relations with them and seek that which Allah has decreed for you. And eat and drink until the white thread of dawn becomes distinct to you from the black thread [of night]

فالآن باشروهن وابتغوا ما كتب الله لكم وكلوا واشربوا حتى يتبين لكم الخيط الأبيض من الخيط الأسود من الفجر

[Al-Baqarah 2:187]

And this indicates that it is not permissible to act according to calculation, because Allah said:

until the white thread of dawn becomes distinct to you from the black thread

حتى يتبين لكم الخيط الأبيض من الخيط الأسود من الفجر

[Al-Baqarah 2:187]

And this indicates that it is not permissible to act [according to calculation] because Allah said:

until the white thread of dawn becomes distinct to you from the black thread

حتى يتبين لكم الخيط الأبيض من الخيط الأسود من الفجر

[Al-Baqarah 2:187]

And if it is not permissible to act according to calculation regarding the entry of the month, then likewise it is not permissible to act according to calculation regarding the entry of the daytime, because the entry of the month determines fasting and breaking the fast, and the entry of the daytime or the entry of the night determines what? Abstaining and breaking the fast. As for Maghrib, its matter is apparent because it is tied to what? The setting of the sun, which is an apparent and known sign. As for the dawn, it is hidden. Therefore, if two calculations from two experts differ, one saying that the dawn appears at nine o'clock and the other saying that it appears at nine-thirty, which one do you take? You take the second one. Allahu Akbar. Yes.
The student: ... .

The Shaykh : Yes.
