Measuring the distance of hearing the adhan with loudspeakers
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: All the mosques at this time have loudspeakers, so how do we measure the distance at which the adhan is heard naturally, such that responding to it is not obligatory?
Answer:
You measure it by investigation. By investigation, you say: If the mu'adhdhin did not have a microphone, how far would his voice reach? It reaches, for example, half a kilometer. Yes, by investigation. Yes.
