Does the one who calls the adhan with a microphone turn to the right and left, and does he put his finger in his ear?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : For example, the ones who call the adhan now use a microphone. Does he turn to the right and left as if he were calling without a microphone? Or do we say this is a recommended practice (sunnah) that has lost its place, meaning it no longer has a place?

The Shaykh : He should say to you: he must turn, even if there are microphones. It does not end, because if it ended, my voice would become lower.

The questioner : If we said in the adhan that he does not turn, and that this recommended practice (sunnah) has died out, because most mu'adhdhins turn in the loudspeakers, look, I mean that his turning is only in his voice, this is only in four phrases, the rest is present. The recommended practice (sunnah) may die out in this way.

The Shaykh : No, it has not died out, if Allah wills. What about putting the hands in the ears? He puts them in, because this is undoubtedly clearer for the voice and more comprehensive for the voice. Yes.
