The adhan of the mu'adhdhin while in a state of major ritual impurity and his entering the mosque

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
A mu'adhdhin woke up a few minutes before the time for the Fajr adhan, and he was in a state of janabah (major ritual impurity). He was in a dilemma: he could not call the adhan while in a state of janabah, but if he delayed and performed ghusl (the full ritual bath), he would be late for the time of the adhan. What should he do?

The Shaykh:
He should call the adhan. He should call the adhan, because ritual purity is not a condition for the adhan. So he calls the adhan even if he is in a state of janabah, and then he goes and performs ghusl to remove the janabah. Yes.

The questioner:
Is there any issue with his entering the mosque, Honorable Shaykh?

The Shaykh:
There is nothing wrong with passing through. If he enters the mosque for a need and is just passing through, there is nothing wrong. What is forbidden is for a person in a state of janabah to sit in the mosque.

The presenter:
What Allah willed, praise be to Allah, may Allah bless you
