The Ruling on Taking Charge of the Adhan in the Mosque
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, there is a mosque near my house that has not had a mu'adhdhin for more than a year, and no one has stepped forward to give the adhan during this entire period. The imam of the mosque and his congregation have insisted that I become their mu'adhdhin, but I am only able to give the adhan for two obligatory prayers, while my sons give the adhan for the other three. One of them is about ten years old and the other is fifteen. Do you advise me to take charge of the adhan in that mosque or not?
Answer:
Yes, we advise you to take charge of the imamah, and praise be to Allah, you have sons who can perform the task. You and your sons are equal in this, praise be to Allah. So commit to the imamah, and if you are absent, your sons will act on your behalf, and you are all equal in this, praise be to Allah. Yes.
