Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Salih al-Fawzan, Honorable Shaykh, which is greater in reward: the adhan of the mu'adhdhin or leading the prayer?
Answer:
Both have a great reward and a share of the reward. However, it appears that the adhan has a greater reward. This is based on this noble verse. 'Umar ibn al-Khattab said, "If it were not for the caliphate, I would have called the adhan." This is due to the great virtue in the adhan, which is witnessed by everything that hears it, whether dry or wet, jinn or human. Yes.

May Allah reward you,
