Facing the Qiblah and Turning Toward the Mu'adhdhin During the Second Call

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: When the mu’adhdhin says “Prayer is better than sleep,” does the mu’adhdhin turn around and not look back, or does he face the qiblah?

Answer:
He faces the qiblah, just as in the rest of the adhan. The turning to the right and left only happens in the two calls: “Hasten to prayer” and “Hasten to success.” Yes.
