The Ruling on Using External Loudspeakers in Prayer

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Perhaps using external loudspeakers highlights the importance of prayer and its status in the religion and in society. In fact, non-Muslims are often affected by these prayers and recitations, which may lead them to embrace Islam. What is your view on this? And what is the harm that the external sound causes to others? I ask for clarification for the benefit of the people, may Allah preserve you.

Answer:
The adhan remains; the adhan is what is on the mosques around. Also, some ignorant people may pray their prayer while there are distances between them and the imam. This has happened often; the ignorant pray with the imam while there are streets between them and him, because they think the sound is sufficient. Perhaps they are praying in front of the mosque they are hearing from, due to their ignorance of this matter, taking the sound as merely sound. Also, raising the voice causes harm to the people sitting there, the sick, the people who are sleeping, and the people who are resting; it disturbs them. And it is not free from showing off.
It is not free from showing off and boasting with beautiful voices and making people hear them. As for calling to Allah, that is done by other means. We have not seen anyone embrace Islam because of this type of calling. The calling, praise be to Allah, has its intended place in other ways: for lectures, for lessons, for reciting the Qur'an to them, for explaining the Qur'an to them, distributing themselves [to help], giving assistance. This is the calling to Allah the Exalted, and good example. As for making the prayer like a car auction.
Making it like a car auction with noise and raised voices, I do not think this is among the etiquettes of Islam. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came upon his Companions while they were praying until night and raising their voices, so he forbade them. He said: No, , each of you is .
