Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: Is wudu' or facing the qiblah required for the validity of the adhan?
Answer:
It is a sunnah (recommended practice) for the mu'adhdhin to be in a state of wudu'. If he calls the adhan without wudu', it is valid and there is no harm. Likewise, it is a sunnah for him to face the qiblah at the time of the adhan, because the adhan is an act of worship, and worship requires facing the qiblah.
