Appointing a Guardian to Call the Adhan for One Who Finds It Difficult to Reach the Mosque
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: My father is the mu'adhdhin in a mosque. After we moved to our new house, the mosque became far from him, and it is difficult for him to reach it. He was only able to call the adhan for the Maghrib and 'Isha' prayers because there is someone who drives him. We tried to persuade him to stop calling the adhan, but he is still eager to do so. He proposed appointing the guard to call the adhan for the Fajr, Zuhr, and 'Asr prayers, while waiving his salary. Is this permissible?
Answer:
If he has a desire to call the adhan, all mosques are the same. Look for a mosque near the house he moved to and request his transfer to it. Look for a mosque near his house and request his transfer to it from the competent authority. Yes.
