Following the Mu'adhdhin on the Radio and Television
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks, may Allah preserve you, about the ruling on following the mu'adhdhin if one hears him calling the adhan on the radio or sees him on television when it is broadcast live, knowing that I am not in the city where the adhan is being called?
Answer:
Yes, you respond to him as long as it is a live adhan; you respond to him and follow him to obtain the reward and virtue, even if you are in a country other than the one where the adhan is being called. If you hear the dhikr, you follow it. There is a hadith from 'Amr: if you hear the adhan, respond to the mu'adhdhin. Yes.
