The Ruling on Selling Mobile Phone Ringtones Set to the Tune of the Adhan

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, you know that the Permanent Committee for Scholarly Research and Ifta has issued a fatwa forbidding mobile phone ringtones. I have found companies selling these ringtones, and among them is a malicious ringtone set to the tune of the adhan,

The Shaykh:
I.

The questioner:
set to the tune of the adhan.

The Shaykh:
the tune of the adhan.

The questioner:
I have attached the company's advertisement to the question. What is the ruling on this action? And what is obligatory in this regard?

The Shaykh:
Since you say that a fatwa was issued by the Permanent Committee for Scholarly Research and Ifta prohibiting these ringtones, and that it was increased with something worse and more severe than them, as you mentioned, it is obligatory for you to take the fatwa and go to the center, the center of the Commission, and inform them of it, and give them a copy of the fatwa so that they can perform their duty toward these establishments. Yes.
