The ruling on using a recorded tape for the adhan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: We are workers on a farm, and during the adhan we play a recorded tape of the adhan and put it through the microphone.
Answer:
No, one of you should call the adhan; the tape is not sufficient. One of you should call the adhan through the microphone so that he receives the reward and performs the adhan; because the adhan is an act of worship, and an act of worship must be performed by a Muslim who is accountable. The tape is not sufficient. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good, O Shaykh,
