Is it permissible to repeat the recorded adhan?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, the questioner asks: Is it permissible to repeat the recorded adhan?

Answer:
No, because this is not an adhan; it is merely a recorded sound, not an adhan. One should only repeat the adhan that is performed at its proper time by the mu'adhdhin directly, unlike the recorded one, which is not considered valid. If you placed a recording device in the mosque and turned it on when the time entered, this would not suffice as an adhan nor fulfill the prescribed practice. It is obligatory to perform the adhan that they call "live"; it must be performed by someone whose adhan is considered valid. As for the recorded sound, it is not sufficient.
