The ruling on broadcasting the loud prayer with loudspeakers

Question:
May Allah reward you. Brother Ibrahim asks, Shaykh Salih, what is the ruling in the Shari'ah, in your view, on broadcasting the loud prayer with a loudspeaker or loudspeakers? It is not hidden from you that in some houses there are excused people, such as the sick and others, and some women?

Answer:
This is a matter that has recurred and much has been said about it because loudspeakers are misused. Loudspeakers have good in them because they convey good and convey the imam's voice to the followers. Exaggeration in their use is what caused the confusion regarding them. It is obligatory that the loudspeaker be inside the mosque. There is no harm in broadcasting the adhan and iqamah outside the mosque so that the neighbors can attend.
As for the imam's recitation, it is only for those behind him. So it should be to the extent that those behind him can hear it. It should not disturb the houses and the excused people praying in them, or those for whom congregational prayer is not obligatory, or the resting sick. It should not disturb the nearby mosques.
This often happens. They disturb the mosques. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade that. When he went out to the Companions who were praying at night, performing tahajjud, some of them were reciting loudly. He said (peace and blessings be upon him) So the imam who wants to be followed and wants to benefit those behind him is bound by this event, and the microphone's voice should not go outside the mosque because of the disturbance and harm that results from it. This is an observed and evident matter. Everything should have its limit. If something goes beyond its limit, it turns into its opposite. Yes.
