Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: A notice was placed on the outside wall of the mosque. Is that sufficient for identification, or is it necessary to announce it verbally?
Answer:
One should write it and announce it verbally, combining both. Writing alone is not sufficient, as not everyone reads or pays attention, but everyone present hears the voice.
