Facing the Qiblah During the Adhan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it obligatory to face the qiblah during the adhan?
The Shaykh:
But the problem now is that they delay the first adhan, and there are only a few minutes between the two adhanat. This has no benefit; this has no benefit. The first adhan on Friday must precede the second by at least half an hour or an hour. But combining this with that has no benefit in it. This is contrary to the Sunnah. Yes.
