Question:
Assalam o alaikum
I have a very important question as many people argue over it. I want to know if its allowed to start praying when the azaan has just started?
I’m confused because on one hand I have heard since childhood that we should listen to azaan & repeat after it,then how can we start praying without letting azaan finish?
On the other hand, it can also be said that since the “time” of prayer has started & the moazzin is already calling us,we can immediately start praying after his first “Allah ho akbar , Allah ho akbar”.
What is better?
Thank you.
