Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: In some mosques, the adhan is given via recorded tapes. Is this action prescribed?
Answer:
No, this is not an adhan. The tape is not a mu'adhdhin. The adhan is a form of worship that a Muslim must perform; it must be performed by a Muslim who is accountable. The tape is not accountable, and worship is not valid from it. It is merely a device that stores sound. Yes.
