The (call to prayer) is not interrupted on Earth by estimation, but in reality, this is not true. There are places where human presence is rare or nonexistent, and it is not necessary for Muslims to be present everywhere. Furthermore, the assumption that every muezzin's adhan takes four minutes is unrealistic. Sheikh Abdurrahman Al-Suhaim is reported to have stated that this is incorrect, explaining that the adhan typically lasts from one to one and a half minutes. He also clarified that the claim of continuous adhan requires studying prayer times according to each country's local time, not solely based on lines of longitude and latitude.
