Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible for the mu'adhdhin to call to prayer while in a state of major ritual impurity? And if it is permissible, is it better for him not to call?
Answer:
Ritual purity for the adhan is a recommended practice (sunnah); it is not obligatory. If they call to prayer while in a state of major or minor ritual impurity, their adhan is valid. However, it is recommended to be in a state of ritual purity, because the adhan is an act of worship, and it is recommended to perform it while in a state of ritual purity. Yes.
