Ask The Imam Question and Answer

41 Why do we do Azaan for Magrib Namaz just before we pray?
This is because Magrib Salah has short time, hence soon as the sun sets the Azaan is said and the prayer is performed.

Hazrat Maalik Ibn Huwairith (R.A) reported that Rasoolallah (S.A.W) said “when the time for prayer comes; one of you should say the Azaan and the eldest amongst you lead the congregation (Jamaat)”. (Bukhari).

From the above Hadith it is important to note that the word eldest doesn’t necessarily mean in the literal sense, but the one who is eligible to become an imam ( i.e. fulfilling the characteristics that an imam should possess.)
