The Ruling on the Mu'adhdhin Occasionally Being Absent
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : He says: This is Muhammad Mahjub. Is it permissible for the mu'adhdhin to leave off the adhan for some of the obligatory prayers, continuing to do so? And if it is not permissible, is there a fatwa? I mean, a fatwa permitting it or not?
The Shaykh : It is not permissible. Because most of the mu'adhdhins, may Allah grant us well-being and well-being, are employees, meaning they are in a place where most of the mu'adhdhins, meaning ninety percent.
The questioner : I mean eighty kilos.
The Shaykh : Yes. Is this correct? This is not correct.
The questioner : No, by Allah, I am short, truly.
The Shaykh : Nor seventy percent, nor twenty percent.
The questioner : What?
The Shaykh : Yes, meaning they leave off the adhan and go right and left?
The questioner : No, no, they do not request the adhan, Shaykh. He is an employee and has a job during the Zuhr prayer, and he is unable to come from the job and leave work until about one and a half.
The Shaykh : This has become the custom, and there is nothing wrong with it.
The questioner : No, impossible.
The Shaykh : With the Endowments Administration and the congregation, if they appoint someone who has the capability.
The questioner : Well, does he eat?
The Shaykh : If he eats, as long as it is forgiven in that.
The Shaykh : It is not permissible. Because most of the mu'adhdhins, may Allah grant us well-being and well-being, are employees, meaning they are in a place where most of the mu'adhdhins, meaning ninety percent.
