Question:
The first. May Allah preserve you. Regarding the first question, if I am in prayer and there is nothing, does it obligate me to face the qiblah and put my hand in my ear, meaning in the adhan, or without raising my hand? This is the first question. May Allah preserve you. And the second. The second, may Allah prolong your life, regarding the wiping over the leather socks for the resident, one day and one night, meaning if I wiped yesterday, when do I repeat it? When do I wipe the second time? May Allah prolong your life? Is it clear, O Abdullah? May Allah bless you. Please, Shaykh. His first question: Does raising the adhan in the open require facing the qiblah? And does it require placing his fingers in his ears?

Answer:
This is among the sunnah (recommended practices) of the adhan to face the qiblah and to place his fingers in his ears. This is among the sunnah of the adhan, yes.
