The Sunnah of the Adhan: Placing the Fingers in the Ears and Turning the Head
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks: Is it part of the Sunnah to place the index finger in the ear during the adhan? And is it part of the Sunnah to turn the head to the right when saying "Hayya 'ala al-salah"?
Answer:
This is among the Sunnahs of the adhan, yes. Placing the fingers in the ears, because Bilal used to do this in the presence of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). Likewise, it is among the Sunnahs of the adhan to turn the head to the right and left during the two calls: "Hayya 'ala al-salah," turn to the right; "Hayya 'ala al-falah," turn to the left, with the head. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
