Question:
Some people, O Shaykh, drag out the adhan and stretch it to an amazing degree. What is your advice to these people?
Answer:
My advice is that he not shorten the adhan and not stretch it out, neither in the "hayya" nor in the testimony. Some people stretch out the testimony, "I bear witness that there is no god but Allah." This is not what should be done; it is disliked. Do not stretch it out.Sunan Abi Dawud 499Hasan Sahih (Al-Albani), "Hayya 'ala al-falah" (Hasten to success), do not stretch it out; that is sufficient. Instead, [it should be] clear.
