Ruling on performing the prayer before the time has entered

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The listener Khadir Mahmoud Ali sent a message containing a number of questions, saying: If I pray one of the obligatory prayers about ten minutes before the prayer time, and that was due to my forgetfulness, is that prayer dropped from me, or is it still a debt upon me?

Answer:
If you prayed it before the time, it is invalid, and it is not dropped from your debt. So if you pray the midday prayer before the sun reaches its zenith, or the sunset prayer before the sun sets, or the dawn prayer before the dawn appears; the prayer is invalid. You must repeat it, and your debt is not cleared except by repeating it. It is not permissible for you to pray before the time ever; rather, you are sinful, and you must repent from that. May Allah help us. Yes.

The presenter : We seek help from Allah. May Allah reward you with good.
