Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: What is the ruling on melodizing the adhan and beautifying the voice with it?
Answer:
Yes, beautifying the voice with it is good. And for this reason, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) chose Dhalla and Abu Mahdhura for the softness, meaning the beauty of the softness of their voices. But he did not use a melody that would make it like songs; that is not permissible. That is, it is not permissible to use a melody that makes it like songs. As for beautifying the voice with it, that is recommended. Yes.
