Women and Salaah: Wait for Azaan or Start Immediately?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: Is it necessary for a woman to wait for the Azaan to be called out to perform her Salaah or can she perform her Salaah immediately when the time of Salaah sets in?

Bismillaah

A: She can perform her Salaah immediately after the time sets in. It is not necessary for her to wait till the time of Azaan.

And Allah Ta’ala knows best.

( والمستحب ) للرجل ( الابتداء ) في الفجر ( بإسفار والختم به ) هو المختار بحيث يرتل أربعين آية ثم يعيده بطهارة لو فسد وقيل يؤخر جدا لأن الفساد موهوم ( إلا لحاج بمزدلفة ) فالتغليس أفضل كمرأة مطلقا وفي غير الفجر الأفضل لها انتظار فراغ الجماعة

قال الشامي : قوله ( مطلقا ) أي ولو في غير مزدلفة لبناء حالهن على الستر وهو في الظلام أتم (رد المحتار 1/ 366)
