Is it permissible to unify the adhan in all mosques through a single device?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: What is the ruling on unifying the adhan in all mosques through a device operated by the mu'adhdhin at the time the prayer time enters?

Answer:
The adhan in every mosque; this is what is prescribed in every mosque. This is a remembrance of Allah the Exalted and Majestic, and it is not to be suspended. Every mosque, even if there are two in a desert or on a road, they call to prayer. So the adhan is required at the time of prayer, whether in mosques or in a mosque, and the mosques are not to be suspended from the remembrance of Allah the Exalted and Majestic. Suspending the town from the remembrance of Allah, and restricting it to just the recording, and not appointing a mu'adhdhin, just putting a recorder and that is it, this is not sufficient for the adhan, the institution of the adhan at its time. Yes.
