Passing by the worshippers to alert them to the prayer after the adhan

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Some people leave their houses and prostrate after the adhan, then they bury themselves in the prayer and say the takbir in the prayer. What is the ruling on that?

Answer:
If they are lazy and delay, then it is fine for him to pass by them and say to them, "Pray." But if they are walking to the prayer and preparing, there is no need for him to pass by them while they are preparing and walking to the prayer. The adhan is sufficient for them, and these people are obedient and walking to the prayer. There is no need for him to go to them. Some of the Salaf used to disapprove of this and say that the adhan is sufficient. This applies to those for whom the adhan is sufficient. As for those for whom the adhan is not sufficient, who delay and are lazy, this is wrong and it is obligatory to disapprove of it, so that they are commanded to pray, and the men of the Hisbah (public order) are informed about them, and whatever is possible is done with them to guide them and reform them, and so that the prayer does not harm them. Yes.
