The rationale for the mu'adhdhin remaining in the place of his adhan and turning off the loudspeaker at the iqamah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. In some mosques, the loudspeakers are turned off at the iqamah. This concerns the iqamah specifically. If the one who gives the adhan says he will give the iqamah from the place where he gave the adhan, if it is easy, what is the rationale for him giving the iqamah from his place?
Answer:
It is easier, because it is easier. Now, with the advent of loudspeakers, it has become all adhan and prolongation, just that. As for turning off the loudspeaker at the iqamah, there is a benefit in that, because people now rely on it. They do not act on the adhan; they sit down when they hear the iqamah, then they get up to perform wudu', and then they do not attend until the end of the prayer. The fact that they do not hear the iqamah encourages them to come early and prevents them from relying on hearing the iqamah. Yes.
