Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, what is the specific aspect in which the voice of the adhan is considered beautiful? And does the one who takes the adhan [from the practice of] delaying the recitation of the testimony...
Answer:
Like the one who goes to the extent of approximation, that is not permissible, because it becomes similar to songs. As for beautifying the voice in the adhan, that is required. Beautifying the voice in the adhan and good performance, without melodic ornamentation, without breaking up the words, this is good. But if it goes beyond melodic ornamentation and breaking up the words, then that is not permissible; because it takes on the character of singing. Everything has a limit, everything has a limit; if it exceeds its limit, it turns into its opposite. Yes.
