Mentioning the Lordship of the Prophet (in the Adhan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The second question of Fatwa number ( 18896 )
Q 2: The village where I work in one of its mosques has become accustomed to the mu'adhdhin saying during the tashahhud in the adhan: "I bear witness that our master Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah... etc." However, I feel that the more correct thing is to say in the adhan: "I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah... etc." That is, without the word "our master" (sayyidna). This is based on my conviction that this is the more correct form. But I have encountered opposition from many people, especially since our village has about (14) fourteen mosques, and they say in their adhan: "I bear witness that our master Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah." So who of us is correct, and which of the two sayings is more correct and better? I ask for a clear answer in this matter, as I see that this is what was reported from the Prophet Muhammad (may the best of prayers and peace be upon him). Also, since we face the Noble Ka'bah in our prayers, we must also emulate it in the adhan.
A 2: Mentioning lordship (sayyid) in the adhan for our Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is not prescribed; rather, it is one of the innovations that must be abandoned. This is because the words of the adhan are preserved and transmitted in the books of the Sunnah, and none of them mention lordship. Therefore, one must restrict oneself to what was transmitted regarding this and not add to it. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
