The Details of the Question
The Answer
Dear Brother / Sister,
What matters for a prayer is the time period for that prayer to start. If the time period for a prayer starts, it is permissible to perform that prayer without waiting for adhan to be called. Therefore, if a person starts a fard prayer after the time period for that prayer starts, his prayer is valid. However, if he performs that prayer before the time period for that prayer starts, he has to perform it again.
