Is the adhan prescribed while traveling?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: As for the adhan, we usually go out to the desert with my companions, so what is the ruling on the adhan for travelers, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh:
The adhan for travelers is prescribed, but some scholars hold that it is a recommended practice (sunnah) and not obligatory except in settled areas. The correct view is that it is obligatory both while traveling and in settled areas, based on the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)Sahih al-Bukhari 628 or the one among you with the best voice, and this is general, applying to travel and other situations. Yes.
The questioner:
O Shaykh, does a person praying alone mean he has to perform the adhan and the iqamah?
The Shaykh:
It is better for him to perform the adhan and the iqamah; it is better because of the hadith about the shepherd who tends the sheep and calls the adhan on the mountain. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was informed that Allah is pleased with that. Yes.

one of you should pronounce the Adhan for the prayer when its time is due and the oldest one amongst you should lead the prayer.
