Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. What is done in some mosques is that the mu'adhdhin stands up and repeats after the imam. For example, when the imam says, “Allah hears the one who praises Him,” the mu'adhdhin or someone else says, “Our Lord, to You belongs all praise,” in a loud voice. Is this part of the Sunnah?
Answer:
This depends on the need. If they need the call to be conveyed, one person behind the imam conveys it, just as Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) conveyed the prayer of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when he prayed with them while ill and sitting. Abu Bakr was conveying the takbirs of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) from behind him. Adopting the one who conveys the call is a recommended practice (sunnah) when there is a need for it, but if there is no need for it, it is not prescribed. Yes.
