Question:
They ask a number of questions, one of which is: Is it permissible to turn on a recorder during the adhan on Friday, given that the recorder is broadcasting religious nasheeds, or the Noble Qur'an?

Answer:
Or, listening to the mu'adhdhin, following him, and reciting the dhikr that comes after it is better and more emphatic. So when you hear the mu'adhdhin, you follow him by saying what he says. When he finishes, you say: "There is no god but Allah alone, with no partner. His is the dominion and His is the praise, and He is over all things competent. O Allah, Lord of this perfect call and the established prayer, grant Muhammad the intercession and the virtue, and raise him, O Allah, to the praised station for which You have promised him." And the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Whoever says thatمن قال ذلك
This is a great favor, so do not occupy yourself with anything else, not a recording or anything else, until the adhan ends. This is excepted if the recording is of the Qur'an or of religious hadiths that contain benefit and usefulness. As for the nasheeds, these have no benefit; they are merely songs. It is obligatory not to turn the recording on for them or listen to them, because they are idle amusement, falsehood, and songs. They occupy time and have no benefit except enjoying the melodies in them. Yes.
