What is the ruling on unifying the adhan?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner asks: What is the ruling on the unified adhan, where there is one mu'adhdhin for all the mosques of the city?

Answer:
It is permissible to have one mu'adhdhin, and it is permissible to have multiple mu'adhdhins; there is no obstacle. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) had several mu'adhdhins, including Bilal and Ibn Umm Maktum. It is permissible for multiple mu'adhdhins to be in one mosque, and it is permissible for one person to perform the adhan alone. The matter is broad, and praise be to Allah. Yes.
