Is it permissible to pray after the first call to prayer has finished, or must one wait for the other muezzins to finish?
For the prayer to be valid, it is a condition to have certainty or strong
Dhan (conjecture) that the time has entered. It is usually the case that muezzins do not
pronounce the call to prayer () until after the time has entered. Therefore, there is no
objection to beginning the prayer immediately after the first muezzin finishes. It is
recommended for one who hears the adhan to first respond to the muezzin and then pray.
If there are multiple muezzins, it is recommended to respond to them one after another.
However, the prayer is valid even if one prays without responding to the muezzin, though in
doing so, one misses out on the reward for responding.
