Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, the position of imam in one of the mosques was offered to me, and I refused it; because the position of the mu'adhdhin is registered with the endowments in the name of a person.
The Shaykh:
What?
The questioner:
[The position of] imam in one of the mosques, and I refused it; because the position of the mu'adhdhin is registered with the endowments in the name of a person, and another person is the one performing the adhan, so what do you advise me to do?
The Shaykh:
And [he accepts] the imamate, and as for the issue of the adhan, he can rectify the situation if he takes on the imamate; he will have a say, he will have a voice, because he is the imam, so he rectifies the situation once he becomes the imam.
