Innovations Added Before and After the Adhan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Lately, beggars have become numerous in the mosques.
Answer:
A note on the fact that in some countries, people have introduced religious innovations (bid'ah) before and after the adhan. They call out with phrases like "the near ones," recite blessings upon the Messenger, and offer supplications and invocations before the adhan, and then the adhan is called. When the adhan is finished, they respond with invocations and supplications. The ignorant people consider this to be part of the adhan, thinking it is prescribed, but it is a bid'ah. Nothing is to be added to the adhan, neither before it nor after it, and nothing is to be proclaimed except the adhan itself. If one wishes to remember Allah, he should do so in his heart.
