The Ruling on Singing in the Adhan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I see, may Allah show you good, Honorable Shaykh, he says: What is the ruling on singing in the adhan of Jumu'ah or any other adhan?
Answer:
It is better that the adhan not include any melodic composition or musical modes. There is no harm in making his voice beautiful with it; that is better. Raising his voice is good. A beautiful, raised voice is required in the adhan, without melodic composition. Up to this point. As for when he uses melodic composition, this is disliked because it turns into something resembling songs, so this is disliked.
The jurists say that the adhan is valid even if it is melodically composed or has grammatical errors. It is valid, meaning it is valid, though it is not what is preferred. But if he calls the adhan, his adhan suffices even if it is melodically composed or has grammatical errors. The one who is melodically composed is the one who has musical embellishment, and the one with grammatical errors is the one who has an issue from the perspective of language, such as raising a nominative case or preserving a genitive case, or something else. Except if it changes the meaning, then it does not benefit. For example, if he says, "I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah," with an open alif on "Allah," the speech becomes unintelligible. It becomes unintelligible; the speech did not convey the news. If this is the case, it is not valid because the event was not completed. As for mere melodic composition that does not change the meaning, this does not harm. Yes.
