The Mu'aththin called the Athan while I was praying the Sunnah of Fajr

Question :

I entered the mosque at Fajr time and prayed two Rak'ahs and when I stood up for the second Rak'ah, the Mu'aththin called the Athan for prayer and I had made the intention to perform the Sunnah of Fajr prayer because when I left my house, the Athan was being called in some of the mosques. Then after I had finished praying, I sat and read the Qur'an and a person beside me said: "Stand up and pray the Sunnah of Fajr." I said: "I have already prayed it." He replied: "That is not permissible for you unless you pray again, because the Mu'aththin called the Athan while you were praying." I request an explanation of this.

Answer:

If the Mu'aththin delayed the Athan of the Fajr prayer whose Sunnah you were offering, and your prayer took place after the beginning of Fajr time, then you have performed the Sunnah and it is sufficient for you and there was no need to repeat it. However, if you are unsure about it and you do not know if the Athan of the Mu'aththin who called while you were praying was late or not, then it is safer and better for you to repeat the two Rak'ahs in order to be sure that you performed them after the start of Fajr time.
