The obligation to regulate loudspeakers inside and outside mosques
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good. The listener Muhammad Majid sent a message containing a collection of questions. In one of his questions, he asks and says: What is the ruling on those who are affected by the loudspeakers installed in mosques? They argue that their volume is high when the imams raise their voices in recitation, and that they frighten their children and disturb their elders and the sick?
Answer:
Yes, the obligatory thing in matters is moderation and the middle path. The sound of the loudspeakers must be restricted to inside the mosque to make the ma'mum hear. As for it going outside the mosque other than for the adhan, this causes harm. As for the adhan, it is necessary. As for reciting the Qur'an in prayer or otherwise, it must be inside the mosque to make the ma'mum hear, so as not to disturb the neighbors in the houses and other mosques?
