Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: When the mu'adhdhin says "Prayer is better than sleep," does the mu'adhdhin turn around and look, or does he remain facing the qiblah?

Answer:
He remains facing the qiblah and does not turn around. Yes, he turns his head to the right and left during the two "Hayya 'ala al-Falah" calls, but he remains standing firm and does not turn his body. He only turns his head while standing firm and facing the qiblah. Yes.
