The Ath-Thawib in the Adhan for Fajr
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is the ath-thawib in the second adhan for Fajr a bid'ah (religious innovation)?
Answer:
How can it be a bid'ah when you have heard the hadith regarding it? It is considered a bid'ah by the one who does not know the hadith, because to the ignorant, everything is a bid'ah. But the one who knows the hadith and the Sunnah of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) does not call something a bid'ah except that which contradicts the Sunnah of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), the newly invented matter. Yes.
