Staying in the place of the adhan and turning off the loudspeakers at the iqamah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
In some mosques, the loudspeakers are turned off at the iqamah. This concerns the iqamah specifically. If the one who leads the prayer says he will establish the prayer in the place where he was appointed, if it is easy, what is the operative cause for him to establish it in his place?
The Shaykh:
It is easier because it is easier. The general public has become obligated to seek what is lawful and to be enticed by it. After the arrival of the audio loudspeakers. As for turning off the loudspeakers at the iqamah, there is a benefit in this because people now rely on it; they do not act based on the adhan, but rather they sit down when they hear the iqamah.
The questioner:
And.
The Shaykh:
They perform wudu, then they sit down except at the end of the prayer. Their saying that they do not hear the iqamah encourages them to be reminded and prevents them from relying solely on hearing the iqamah.
