Question:
Honorable Shaykh, is it required to be in a state of purity, facing the qiblah, or standing when calling the adhan?
Answer:
No, all of these are recommended practices. It is recommended in the adhan to be in a state of purity, to be facing the qiblah, and to be standing. So if he calls the adhan while sitting, there is no harm; or if he calls it while not in a state of purity, there is no harm; or if he calls it while not facing the qiblah, there is no harm. The adhan is valid, but he has left a recommended practice. Yes.
