Status of salaah if azaan was given before the time entered

Q: In my college, Maghrib azaan was called four minutes early and I respectfully told the brother to make the adhaan again. He refused but the Jamaat was performed on time though. Will my salaah be valid? Do I have to repeat my salaah and did I do the right thing?

A: Yes, it is valid.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
