What is the ruling on loudspeakers that repeat the letter?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : He says: What is the opinion on loudspeakers called "al-Sadad" (echo), which cause the words to repeat? Is it permissible to use them if the voice does not repeat?
The Shaykh : As for the one in which the letter is repeated, there is no doubt in my mind that it is forbidden, and that it is playing with the words of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). As for the one that does not repeat the voice, I cannot rule on it because I do not know what happens. What is the difference between the echo and the ordinary speaker? Is there a difference between them? Hmm?
The questioner : It is louder and has a greater impact on the soul.
The Shaykh : The chest.
The questioner : No, the "Sadad" means what you said about it, but the one without "Sadad" makes the voice louder.
The Shaykh : Yes, the question is: the echo that repeats the letter is clearly forbidden, because it is an addition to the word of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), but if it does not repeat
The questioner : It has a better effect.
The Shaykh : If it does not repeat, meaning it has a stronger effect than the regular one.
The questioner : Like what is heard in the Sacred Mosque, a light voice, a voice that goes right and left, not the echo that repeats the letter, but its sound is good.
The Shaykh : In any case, we cannot rule on it until we hear it. One of you should record it and we will see. If there is no repetition in it, but it improves the voice and drives away drowsiness, then, if Allah wills, there is nothing wrong with it. It is better to leave it, truly it is better to leave it. Yes.
The presenter : The program is "The Open Door." Yes.
The Shaykh : "The Open Door" program with us? I do not hear anything. Perhaps Musa is doing something with it. Okay.
