Is it permissible for the mu'adhdhin, if he does not wake up for the first adhan, to call the thawbah for the prayer?

The questioner : If you would allow me, Shaykh, on the same question, on the same topic.

The Shaykh: Go ahead.

The questioner : If the mu'adhdhin does not wake up for the first adhan, is it permissible for him to call the thawbah in the second adhan?

The Shaykh : No, it is not permissible for him to do so, because it gives people the impression that the time has not yet ended.

The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.

The Shaykh : The truth is that the legislation of the two adhans contains a profound wisdom. There is another wisdom, which is that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) assigned a mu'adhdhin for each adhan. The wisdom in that is that those who hear the adhan can distinguish the first adhan from the second by the voice of the mu'adhdhin.

The questioner : Distinction.

The Shaykh : This is a distinction. This is also part of the Sunnah that should be revived. As for the answer to what you asked, the Sunnah must remain in its proper place. "Prayer is better than sleep" is only for the first adhan.

The questioner : We are on the topic of the adhan, let us stay with that.

The Shaykh : Let us continue.

The questioner : Let us continue, if Allah wills.
