Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, there are many mosques in our city, and they are close to one another. Is it obligatory for every mu'adhdhin to call the adhan, even if he is late for the time of the adhan, given that the nearby mosques have already called the adhan and the neighbors have heard it?
Answer:
He does not call the adhan if the people have already called it and he is late behind them; he does not call it. Because if he calls it, he misleads the people regarding fasting and misleads them in many matters, and he delays them from the prayer. This is following his desire regarding the Friday prayer. If his late adhan results in the time passing, he does not call the adhan in this case. The adhan of the mu'adhdhins who have already called is sufficient. Yes.
