Calling Athaan before its time has commenced
Question
In our town, the Asr salaah sets in at 4:06pm for Hanafis. Is it permissible to give the Azaan at 4pm and have the Jamaat at 4:15pm, as the majority of the Musallees follow the Hanafi Madhab?
Answer
The Adhaan should only be called after the Salaah time sets in, therefore the Adhaan should not be called before 4:06pm. It is necessary to follow the Fatwa in regards to the Salaah times in the Hanafi Madhab.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
