Ruling on the Adhan for Fajr before the time has entered

Q: What is the ruling on the Adhan for the Fajr prayer before the time has entered?


A: There is no harm in that, if there is a mu'adhdhin who calls the Adhan after the dawn appears, or if the mu'adhdhin who calls the Adhan before the dawn appears repeats the Adhan after the dawn appears, so that the matter is not confused for the people.
And when the Adhan is called for Fajr twice, it is prescribed for him in the Adhan after the dawn appears to say: "The prayer is better than sleep" after the Hay'ah, so that whoever hears it knows that it is the Adhan that obligates the prayer and prevents the fasting person from eating and drinking. The evidence for that is his saying (peace and blessings be upon him) in the hadith of Ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both): It is agreed upon as authentic, and the saying of Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) : "It is a sunnah (recommended practice) that when the mu'adhdhin says in Fajr: 'Hayya 'ala al-falah,' one should say: 'The prayer is better than sleep.'" It was narrated by Ibn Khuzaymah in his Sahih, and by al-Daraqutni with a sound chain, and because he (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered Abu Mahdhurah to say in the Adhan for Fajr And it came in some narrations of the hadith of Abu Mahdhurah regarding the first Adhan for the morning, and what is meant by it is: the Adhan after the dawn appears, and it was called the first because the Iqamah is the second Adhan.
Also, the hadith of Aishah narrated in Sahih al-Bukhari (may Allah have mercy on him) indicates that, and his saying (peace and blessings be upon him) also indicates that: And he said in the third: .
As for the first Adhan mentioned in the hadith of Ibn 'Umar: The intended meaning of it is: to alert them to the nearness of Fajr, so it is not prescribed to say in it: "The prayer is better than sleep"; because the time for the prayer has not entered, and because if he said that in both Adhans, it would be confused for the people, so it is established that he should say that in the Adhan called after the dawn appears.
And Allah is the guarantor of success, and the guide to the straight path.
And may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, and his family and his Companions.
