Summary
It is permissible to call the Isha adhan even when the Isha time entered long ago. The fatwa cites Fiqh al-Manhaji that the adhan is recommended for a prayer about to be performed or one that has been missed. It suggests pausing the lecture briefly for the adhan and then resuming, as a reminder to those outside the mosque and at home, with the time after the adhan used for people to gather before the iqamah.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Boleh azan sekalipun waktu isyak sudah masuk lama.
