The ruling on using the sound of the adhan on a mobile phone
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, is it permissible for us to use the sound of the adhan instead of the ringtones on our mobile phones, which are now widespread among women and others?
Answer:
It is not permissible to place dhikr, whether the adhan, the Qur'an, or the adhkar, on mobile phones for the purpose of being alerted to a call. This is a form of desecrating the adhkar. However, one may use an alert that is not dhikr; it should be a moving or sounding alert without any musical melody, merely a sound alert to the extent of the need. Yes.
