Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: When choosing the mu'adhdhin, should one look for a loud, high voice or for a beautiful, resonant voice?
Answer:
Both: for the loudness of his voice, its resonance, and its beauty. But if his voice is beautiful and people cannot hear it, what is the benefit? There is no doubt that a loud voice is preferable to a resonant one.
