Guidance for the imams of mosques and their mu'adhdhins regarding the importance of being consistent with the adhan and the prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: We would like Your Eminence to direct a word to the imams of mosques and their mu'adhdhins regarding the importance of being consistent in performing the duty of the adhan and the prayer, and not neglecting the mosques?

Answer:
Yes, it is obligatory for the mu'adhdhin and the imam to take care of this noble work. This is among the most noble of works; the imamate and the adhan are among the most noble of righteous deeds. The mu'adhdhin is a trustee of the time, a trustee of the time, and the imam is a guarantor for the prayer of the ma'mumin. If there is a defect in the prayer, the imam bears the responsibility.
And if there is a defect in the entry of the time, the mu'adhdhin bears the responsibility. Each of them is a trustee of his duty. So they should fear Allah the Exalted. And they should know that they are accountable before Allah.
And that the congregation is in their trust. In their trust regarding the time, and in their trust regarding the prayer, and not being late for the ma'mumin until it becomes difficult for them, or neglecting them and leaving them so they find no one to pray with them. He should fear Allah.
But if a legal excuse that necessitates his absence occurs for the mu'adhdhin, let him seek a suitable agent for the adhan. And if a legal excuse that necessitates his absence occurs for the imam, he should seek, he should seek for the imamate someone who can perform it in the required manner. And if he does not find one, he goes to the mosque affairs department. He goes to the mosque affairs office and asks them to choose someone to take his place for the duration of his absence. And he does not leave the mosque and go away. Yes.
