Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Is the first adhan on Friday a bid'ah (religious innovation)? And what is your view of those who say so?
Answer:
If that were the case, the Rightly Guided Caliphs would be innovators, because the adhan existed during their time, the time of the third Caliph, 'Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him), in the presence of the Muhajireen and the Ansar. So, according to this ignorant statement, they would be innovators. Yes.
