Summary
An obligatory prayer performed while the azan is being called is valid. The azan marks the entry of prayer time, and one of the conditions for a valid prayer is that it is performed after the time has begun. It is nevertheless more virtuous to pray after the azan, so that one can respond to the muezzin, send blessings upon the Prophet and make the supplication for him.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
mengerjakan solat ketika azan berkumandang adalah sah solatnya. Ini kerana azan merupakan tanda masuknya waktu solat dan di antara syarat sah solat adalah mengerjakannya setelah masuk waktu.
