Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner says: Shaykh Salih, what is the most correct when we raise our voices for the adhan, when we say “I bear witness that there is no god but Allah” or “I bear witness that there is no god but Allah”?
Answer:
Yes, it is pronounced as it was revealed: “I bear witness that there is no god but Allah and I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.” It is not said “I bear witness that there is no god but Allah”; rather, it is said “I bear witness that there is no god but Allah and I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.” Yes.
