Using the hadith “Moderate yourselves” as evidence for raising the voice with the microphone

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah reward you. Is it derived from the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) hadith “Moderate yourselves” the prohibition against opening microphones during the prayer outside?

Answer:
Yes, it is derived from it. It indicates the excess in raising voices with microphones in supplication, in prayer, and in recitation. This involves overexertion and causes harm to the people in the neighboring mosques and houses, disturbing and annoying them. The imam should be heard by those behind him and by those inside the mosque; the one inside the mosque should convey it to them. He should place the microphone inside the mosque specifically for the prayer, and place the microphone outside the mosque for the adhan. In this way, the harm is averted and the benefits are achieved. Yes.
