Is it permissible to perform a prayer as soon as adhan starts?

The Answer

Dear Brother / Sister,

It is best to listen to adhan and start the prayer after that. However, the prayer of a person who starts it before adhan finishes is valid. 

What matters for a prayer is the time period for that prayer to start. The prayer performed after the time period for that prayer starts is valid whether it is performed before adhan is called or while adhan is being called. 

Along with this, if there is no urgent situation, it is recommended to listen to the call to prayer and repeat what the muezzin says, as it is a sunnah. Therefore, it would be good to perform these sunnah acts before starting the prayer.
