The Ruling on Using External Loudspeakers in Prayer

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah preserve you. Perhaps using external loudspeakers highlights the importance of prayer and its status in the religion and in society. And often, non-Muslims are affected by these prayers and the recitation, which leads them to embrace Islam. What is your view on this? And what is the harm that the external sound causes to others? I ask for clarification for the benefit of all, may Allah preserve you.

Answer:
The adhan disturbs the mood of those around it. Also, some ignorant people pray their prayer while there are distances between them and the imam. This has happened many times; the ignorant pray with the imam while there are streets between them and him, because they think the sound is sufficient. Perhaps they are praying in front of the mosque they hear from, out of their ignorance of this matter, thinking that the sound alone is enough. Also, raising the voice causes harm to the people of the city, the sick, and those who are sleeping or resting; it disturbs them. And it is not free from excess.
It is not free from showing off and boasting with beautiful voices by making people hear them. As for calling to Allah, that is done by other means. We have not seen anyone embrace Islam because of the loudspeakers in the mosques. This is da'wah (calling to Islam). Praise be to Allah, the field for da'wah is open in ways other than this: through lectures, through lessons, through reciting the Qur'an for them, explaining the Qur'an to them, distributing books, and giving aid. This is the call to Allah the Exalted, along with good conduct as an example. As for praying the prayer like a car auction...
...making it like a car auction with noise and raised voices, I do not think this is among the etiquettes of Islam. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) appeared to his Companions while they were praying the night prayer and raising their voices, so he forbade them. He said: "No, , each of you ."
