Question:
You mentioned, our Shaykh, at the beginning of your talk that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) made it a condition for the imam that he be the one among them who recites the Book of Allah best, and he did not make such a condition for the mu'adhdhin.
Answer:
Yes, indeed. There are no conditions required of the mu'adhdhin except that he have a voice that can be heard by those around him. As for the imam, conditions are required of him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When the prayer is established, let one of you lead the prayer. Let one of you call the adhan, and let the best of you in recitation of the Book of Allah lead you. Yes.
