What is the ruling on broadcasting the Noble Qur'an through loudspeakers on the minarets of the mosque before the Friday adhan and before the Fajr prayer?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Shaykh Salih asks about broadcasting the Noble Qur'an through loudspeakers on the minarets of the mosque before the Friday adhan and before the Fajr prayer.

Answer:
This is not permissible. It is not permissible to broadcast or raise the voice before the adhan, whether the adhan of al-Hajar or any other; because this leads to adding to the adhan and leads to religious innovation (bid'ah). What is prescribed is to restrict oneself to the adhan only, not to recite the salawat upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) with a raised voice, nor to recite the Qur'an, whether directly by a reciter or from the radio. All of this is among the innovations for which Allah has not sent down any authority. Also, this leads to adding to the adhan, adding to what Allah the Exalted has prescribed. May Allah reward you with good.
