The Ruling on the Unification of the Adhan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on one who calls for the unification of the adhan and for it to be a single, unified adhan?
The Shaykh:
How does al-Rashid lead the adhan? May Allah keep you safe.
The questioner:
Perhaps in the same town.
The Shaykh:
Yes, a mosque where the adhan is called in this manner. This was the practice in the time of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him); every mosque had its adhan called, and every congregation called the adhan, even travelers, even a single person traveling would call the adhan and the iqamah. So why do we deprive the Muslims of the reward of the adhan and the iqamah? For what reason? Yes.
