Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: In these times, some mu'adhdhins have spread the practice of dragging out the adhan and lengthening it, and perhaps they make it melodious like the melody of musical instruments. What is the ruling on this action?

Answer:
It is not permissible to make the adhan like songs, based on the scales of songs. This is not permissible. Rather, improving the voice in the adhan, yes, improving the voice in the adhan and raising the voice in the adhan is required. As for artificiality and composition, this is disliked or forbidden. Yes.
