Lengthening the elongation in the Name of Allah in the adhan

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Lengthening the elongation in the Name of Allah is not permissible.

The Shaykh:
One should be moderate in the adhan, without exaggeration. One should not exaggerate in the adhan; it should be moderate, neither rushed nor prolonged.

The questioner:
What was it that you were saying?

The Shaykh:
Some mu'adhdhins lengthen this, and likewise in the Sunnah.

The questioner:
Please, go ahead, Ahmad.

The Shaykh:
People lengthen this, and both are in the Sunnah. The Sunnah is not to lengthen it; it says to be moderate. Yes.
