Does one repeat the adhan behind a recording?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Yes. Honorable Shaykh, the questioner asks: Is it permissible to repeat the adhan behind a mu'adhdhin whose voice is recorded on a tape?

The Shaykh:
Following the mu'adhdhin who calls the adhan with a live voice is one thing, but a recording is not; this does not have the ruling of the adhan, this does not have the ruling of the adhan, and the adhan cannot be fulfilled by it. If people were to rely solely on recordings, they would not perform the adhan. The adhan is a form of worship, so it must be performed by a person who carries it out. A recording does not fulfill the worship and is not sufficient for the adhan. The adhan that counts is the live adhan performed at the time the prayer begins. Yes.
