If one bequeaths a third of his wealth to the neighbor of the mosque, does that include everyone who hears the adhan through loudspeakers?

The questioner:
The Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, says: He also said, if he bequeaths to the neighbor of the mosque, the neighbor of the mosque is the one who hears the adhan. The question is: is it mere hearing, or hearing through loudspeakers?
The Shaykh:
Not mere hearing; it is mere hearing. As for the sound that is heard from the entire town, do you intend to give the bequest to all the people of the town? No, it is for those nearby who hear the sound without amplification.
The questioner:
He says: And if it is mere hearing, is it the adhan on the roof of the mosque or inside the mosque?
The Shaykh:
In any place; the important thing is that he hears it.
