What is the ruling on the adhan with a loudspeaker in the market?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Glory be to Allah. It appears that he means, perhaps I have something on the phone, perhaps the batteries have weakened. May Allah reward you, O our Shaykh. Welcome.
The questioner: The truth is, O our Shaykh, in our market, in my shop, we do not hear the adhan for the midday prayer, not even on the radio that is connected to the mosques. Yes, indeed.
The questioner: So we had a very old idea, and perhaps I once spoke with you about it, and we returned, and may Allah reward the good, one of the brothers reminded us of it. We want to put a speaker and give the adhan in the market so that the passersby and the people of the market hear the adhan. So some of the brothers said, if we want, we should ask the owner of the market to build us a mosque on top of the market. So I said to them, O my brothers, that will not work, we mean, we go, we do, there is a mosque, there is a mosque of 'Umar, and it is close. And this mosque, if the five prayers are not prayed in it, its ruling is the ruling of a musalla. Did you hear me, O my Shaykh?
The questioner: May Allah bless you, O our Shaykh. So one of the brothers said, O my brother, we are doing this to encourage people, and I don't know what, and so on. I said, may Allah, no, I mean, if the ruling is the ruling of a musalla, then the reward will not be like the reward of a mosque. So our concern, we are also in our interest, to gain the reward of a mosque. But an idea came to my mind, which I proposed to the brothers present. So the truth is, we said, we consult you, O our Shaykh, with this proposal. Please. So that we do not cut off from the mosque, I mean, by invitation, by invitation, the invitation, we said, we pray the midday prayer in the mosque and return from the prayer to the market and establish the prayer again, so that some of the merchants pray in their shop.
The questioner: And some do not pray at all, so perhaps we gather them initially and we all pray, but for us it will be a voluntary prayer and for them an obligatory prayer. So what is your opinion, O our Shaykh? Please, O my Shaykh. Will you have helped them in carrying out the project? Repeat the question, O Shaykh, I did not understand it? With this proposal, if it is implemented, will you have helped them in carrying it out? May Allah, O our Shaykh, if I want to come to your opinion, Allah knows best, it is the delay. I hit the mark and knew, so stick to it. And beware, then beware. Allah is the Greatest, I mean, this does not mean. I am not able to express myself, O Shaykh, in my words.
The Shaykh : Raise the voice. Yes. Give the adhan if they permit you, for this is better, for then whoever hears the call, it is obligatory
The questioner : Yes. O Most Beautiful, may Allah bless you, O our Shaykh. The important thing is this first opinion, the issue of the loudspeaker. Yes, if Allah wills, and then we do not connect the loudspeaker with the radio, I told you this, if they permit you to do so. If Allah wills, it will be so, by the permission of Allah. Yes, O my Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Did I understand you, I think?
The questioner : Yes, I understood you, O our Shaykh. Is there any service, O my Shaykh? May Allah bless you.
The Shaykh : I just want you to read me the discussion.
The questioner : Yes, O my Shaykh.
The Shaykh : When you reach the topic.
The questioner : Yes, O our Shaykh, yes. At your service, O my Shaykh. May Allah reward you, O my Shaykh, and peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
The Shaykh : Record here a note, quickly, the affirmed is given priority over the negated.
