Guidance on Disagreement Between the Mu'adhdhin and the Imam
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah keep you safe, Your Eminence the Shaykh! Usually, a dispute or disagreement occurs between the mu'adhdhin and the imam. Is there any guidance for them?
Answer:
It is obligatory to cooperate in righteousness and piety, to enjoin what is right, and to show tolerance between the imam and the mu'adhdhin, and to cooperate in good. The imam assists the mu'adhdhin, and the mu'adhdhin assists the imam; they cooperate in good and guidance. This is what is obligatory for them all. So the mu'adhdhin reminds the imam if he is late, and the imam takes care of the mu'adhdhin if he is sometimes late, or if he errs in the wording of the adhan, he teaches him. So it is obligatory for them to cooperate with each other in good. Allah says:[Al-Ma'idah 5:2]
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence the Shaykh, and may Allah bless you and your knowledge, and may He benefit Islam and the Muslims through you.
