Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. In some countries, there is only one mu'adhdhin for all the mosques, and the other mosques have a voice transmission of that sound. What is the ruling on this action?

Answer:
This is a change to one of the rites of Islam, which is the adhan (call to prayer) being made publicly in every mosque. They deprive the Muslims of this rite. This is not permissible; it is an innovation. It is an innovation. Yes, you can have a recording device, and when the time for prayer comes, you turn it on and let it play. Is this sufficient in place of the adhan? No. It is not sufficient in place of the adhan. Yes. And having it transmitted from another mosque is not sufficient. That is the adhan for the mosque where it is located. As for the remaining mosques, each one needs an adhan and the establishment of the rite within it. Yes.
