Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, some people, when the mu'adhdhin says "Hayya 'ala al-salah," say "Hayya 'ala al-salah, la hawla wa la quwwata illa bi-Allah." What is the ruling on this action?
Answer:
This is a mistake. You should restrict yourselves to saying "La hawla wa la quwwata illa bi-Allah" and not follow the mu'adhdhin. This is what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded.
