Is it permissible to pray Fajr before the Adhan when traveling?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The time for Fajr prayer begins with the appearance of true dawn. Prayer is not valid before its prescribed time, as Allah Almighty says: "Indeed, prayer has been decreed upon the believers a time-bound ordinance." It is permissible for someone who does not know the prayer time to follow a trustworthy muezzin who is knowledgeable of the time.
