Question:
Why was "Hayya" singled out for this? And what is the wisdom behind the turning?
Answer:
Because it contains the call "Hayya 'ala al-salah, hayya 'ala al-falah," it is singled out for this; because it is a word of invitation, "hayya" meaning "come," so people are called from his right and from his left to attend the prayer.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
