Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says that some students of knowledge say that prayer with loudspeakers is not permissible.
Answer:
Tell them: What is the evidence that it is not permissible? The loudspeaker is for conveying the message, and the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) appointed a caller. This is for conveying the message, meaning it is a device for conveying the message. It is not permissible. It is a blessing from Allah the Exalted. But we observe that some imams exaggerate in raising the amplified voice until it becomes difficult for the ma'mums behind them. The voice should be balanced, not raised, because there is no need to raise the voice in this manner. Your intention is to convey the message to the ma'mums; it is sufficient if you reach them. Raise your voice only to the extent that you reach them. Yes.
