Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: We see some of the young mu'adhhdhins do not
They put their fingers in their earsيَجْعَلُونَ أَصَابِعَهُمْ فِي آذَانِهِم
[Al-Baqarah 2:19]
during the adhan, but rather let their hands hang down. Likewise, they do not turn their heads in the two final phrases, on the grounds that these two matters were for a temporary benefit, and that benefit has ceased with the existence of loudspeakers now. In fact, the benefit lies in not turning in front of the loudspeaker so that the mu'adhdhin's voice does not drop. What is your comment on what they mentioned?
