The Ruling on Raising Voices with Loudspeakers in Mosques
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Therefore, I advise you, may Allah guide you. If I were to make a supplication for you, may Allah make your deeds in the trust of prayer...
Answer:
Raising voices with microphones in supplication, in prayer, and in recitation involves excessive effort and causes harm to the neighbors in the mosques and houses, disturbing and annoying them. Therefore, the imam should be able to hear those behind him, and those inside should be able to hear him from the entrance of the mosque. He should set the volume inside the mosque specifically for prayer, and set the volume outside the mosque for the adhan. In this way, the adhan is fulfilled and the recitation is checked.
