Question:

Answer:

The one who ordered the adhan was a Rightly Guided Caliph, the third Caliph, 'Uthman ibn 'Affan (may Allah be pleased with him). So it became a recommended practice from the recommended practices of the Rightly Guided Caliphs. As for these extremists who consider everything an innovation, their words are of no account. Even the recommended practices of the Rightly Guided Caliphs, they call innovations. And the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: . Glory be to Allah. Yes.

سنة الخلفاء الراشدين من بعدي تمسكوا بها
