The Elongation and Ornamentation in the Adhan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks: What is the ruling on the exaggeration found in the adhan, in terms of stretching out the voice and ornamenting it?
Answer:
The adhan. There is no doubt that it is a great act of worship. It should be done with a good voice, a loud voice that reaches the people. There is nothing wrong with making one’s voice beautiful with it, but it should not reach the point of ornamentation and stretching out the voice; that is disliked. However, if one is moderate in the adhan and makes his voice beautiful with it, that is what is sought.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
