What is the ruling regarding a muezzin's knowledge of prayer times?
Chapter on Adhan
Al-Mughni
Book of Prayer
Primary text
It is recommended that the muezzin be knowledgeable of the prayer times so that he can accurately call the Adhan at the beginning of the appointed time. If he is ignorant of the times and makes a mistake, his Adhan remains valid. This validity is established analogously, as the Adhan of a blind person, who is more likely to err regarding time, is valid.
