Calling out the Azaan before the Salaah time enters

· 4 Muharram 1437 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I have a friend who calls azaan repeatedly before its actual timings in roads and in restaurants and shops. I told him to not do that but he says calling it is good. Isn't azaan should be called on prayer time only? Please give detail answer whether I am wrong or he?

Answer

If Azaan is called before the Salaah time enters, the Azaan will not be valid. After the time enters, the Azaan will have to be repeated.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
