Is it permissible to call the adhan twice for the Subuh prayer in a mosque?
Short answer
Calling the adhan twice for Subuh, once before the time enters and once after it enters, is permitted because it is regarded as sunnah.

Summary
Calling the adhan twice for Subuh, once before the time enters and once after it enters, is permitted because it is regarded as sunnah. The practice should be coordinated with nearby mosques and announced to the mosque community to avoid confusion. It is preferable to have two different muezzins for the two calls, with the first adhan made 30 minutes before Subuh begins.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Azan dua kali, sebelum masuk waktu Subuh dan setelah masuk waktu boleh diadakan berdasarkan hukumnya sunat.
