Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, what is the ruling on following the mu'adhdhin? And if there is more than one mosque in the neighborhood, which one should I follow?
Answer:
Follow the first mu'adhdhin you hear; follow him. If you follow someone else, that is an increase in good. Following the mu'adhdhin is a recommended practice (sunnah), not obligatory. However, if you follow him by saying what he says, and when the mu'adhdhin finishes, you saySahih al-Bukhari 4719, then the intercession of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) becomes permissible for you, as stated in the authentic hadith. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh
