Is the first adhan for preparing for prayer, or to create an opportunity for an innovated act of worship?

The questioner : May Allah reward you. Allow me, I think the merit of the Ottoman adhan is that it precedes the original, legislated first adhan by a period of time in order to prepare.

The Shaykh : Yes, this period is considered based on the distance of the location, and the period is not in order to create an opportunity to innovate an act of worship that did not exist in the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), which is the sunnah (recommended practice) before the prayer. Rather, the distance is such that it means a few minutes before the adhan.

The questioner : The purpose of this is that the matter of extending the speakers from the last adhan is undoubtedly correct, because the original is the last adhan. If I had any say in the matter, I would have been content with that in practice, meaning, but we are dealing with reality now.

The Shaykh: Correct.
