The ruling on the mu'adhdhin responding to his own adhan and appearing in the media

The questioner : Praise be to Allah. My dear professor, regarding the mu'adhdhin, when he calls the adhan, is he required to repeat the adhan, or does he simply suffice with the adhan? If you hear the mu'adhdhin calling the adhan, say what he says, according to the hadith, meaning?

The Shaykh : No, he does not repeat his adhan except...

The questioner : Between him and himself, of course.

The Shaykh : Listen. Yes. He does not repeat his adhan except for the phrase "La ilaha illa Allah," and this is from the Sunnah known as tarji'. Yes. Only here is there tarji'. Yes. And it is the repetition, but other than that, he does not respond to himself with himself; rather, those who hear his adhan are the ones commanded to respond to it. Yes. Because, as you recited earlier in the hadith, the address is to the listeners. Yes. And it does not include the mu'adhdhin himself. Yes. But it is established in the Sunnah, yes, from the hadith of Abu Mahdhura, that he (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "When you reach 'La ilaha illa Allah,' say it quietly, 'La ilaha illa Allah,' and then raise your voice." Only this repetition is what is mentioned in the Sunnah. As for saying "Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar," and then he says "Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar" until the end of the adhan, this has no basis in the Sunnah first, and then no scholar in the world says this second, except those who are ignorant among the students of knowledge.

The questioner : Yes, and this is generally, my dear professor, in something else, which might be personal: if an interview were offered to you on television or on the radio, and...

The Shaykh : .

The questioner : No, I mean with the conditions that you want, meaning.

The Shaykh : It is not possible. These conditions cannot be accepted in a society like this that does not rule by what Allah has revealed.

The questioner : Allahu Akbar, meaning you reject them completely. May Allah reward you with good, Abu 'Abd al-Rahman, and may Allah bless you.

The Shaykh : And may He bless you.

The questioner : Peace be upon you.

The Shaykh : And upon you be peace and the mercy of Allah and His blessings. Seventy-seven. What Allah willed.

The presenter : What Allah willed. Allah.

The Shaykh : Yes, indeed.

The presenter : I heard a tape, he says to me, he is listening to me, "Whose voice is this?" I reflect, I reflect, I say to him, "This voice, its tone has passed over him, but he means exactly he said to me, 'This is Shaykh Nasr.' This is the voice of the young man. This is my Shaykh, your speech in the Levant, meaning twenty years ago. This is with me. Or more. Our Shaykh now. Do you have a postponement with our brothers second. And I heard you, what is there to detail it? Meaning, in terms of speech now, it is better than before you got on this. Then like this, the teeth are better. Yes, indeed. Ah. Glory be to Him who created them. In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate. In.
