The Ruling on Recorded Adhan in Work Centers
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: In our work center, when the time for the adhan arrives, there is a recording of a mu'adhdhin who performs the adhan.
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
In our work center, when the time for the adhan arrives, it is recorded, so there is a mu'adhdhin in it who performs the adhan. Does this recorded adhan fall under the ruling of the adhan performed by a man at its time, regarding the following of the one who calls, the supplication that follows it, and the reward associated with it?
The Shaykh:
This is not valid. It is not valid to use the mosque when the time enters the office, and neither the recommended practice nor the obligatory act is performed. If the adhan is obligatory, this tape does not fulfill it. This means your inability has reached a point where what is obligatory is neglected, and the land is abandoned, and the adhan is abandoned, and the land is abandoned, and something is said, but this is not acceptable. So what is related to some prizes and making something of this is a mistake.
And this is the neglect of the honor. It may become mosques later. It may happen gradually. And it gives a bad impression of mosques. And the imam becomes a martyr. There is no power or strength except [in Allah]. The legislations are neglected and the recommended practices are neglected. And it is written from the tapes.

May Allah reward you
