Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A mosque mu'adhdhin who receives a salary instructs the worker in the room to call the adhan on his behalf at certain times when he goes on errands and travels, giving him half of the salary. What is the ruling?
Answer:
The mu'adhdhin is a trustee, so he must commit to being present and calling the adhan at its time, and he must not be lax in this. However, if an unexpected circumstance arises that requires him to travel, and it is a temporary circumstance, there is no harm in appointing someone to call the adhan on his behalf, such as the guard or someone else, to call the adhan on his behalf during his travel. This refers to travel that is not permanent, or if he goes out for a walk and leaves the mosque empty. Yes.
