Is it permissible to raise the adhan in one of the gatherings of the mushrikin (those who associate partners with Allah) as a means of calling them to Islam?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner says: Is it considered a correct action and a form of da'wah (calling others to Islam) for a Muslim to stand in one of the gatherings of the mushrikin in their lands and raise the adhan, even if it is not the time for prayer?

Answer:
No, this is not da'wah. The adhan is for the prayer; it is not for da'wah. The adhan for the prayer is an announcement of the entry of the time, and it was not prescribed for the sake of da'wah. Yes.
