The Ruling on Raising the Voice in Mosque Loudspeakers

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner, Abu Ali, says: Honorable Shaykh Salih, the truth is that we suffer from echo in some mosques due to some of the speakers, and we do not attain khushu' (humility). Therefore, we do not know whether we recited al-Fatihah or made du'a' in prostration. We seek your guidance regarding these frequencies in the loudspeakers.

Answer:
Yes, this is something that occurs with many imams, may Allah guide them, in that they exaggerate in using the loudspeaker and raise it above what is needed. This disturbs those in the mosque, those outside the mosque, and nearby mosques, and it harms people. It is obligatory for them to be mindful of this and to limit the loudspeaker's volume to what is heard by those present without causing disturbance. It is also obligatory for the Ministry of Islamic Affairs and Affairs of Mosques to take care of this, follow up on the mosques, and prevent those who cause disturbance with their loudspeakers to those around them. Yes.
