How to respond to the adhan when there are many mu'adhhdhins
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The mu'adhhdhins follow one after another. Is it obligatory to respond to every one of them that I hear, given that the adhan continues for about a quarter of an hour, or is it sufficient to respond to the first one?
The question asks about this, and responding to the mu'adhdhin is not obligatory, neither for the first mu'adhdhin nor the last one.But say: Is it prescribed and recommended?So I say: The jurists (may Allah have mercy on them) say: He should respond to the mu'adhdhin whenever he hears him, even if there are multiple mu'adhhdhins. They cited as evidence the general statement of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): (When you hear the mu'adhdhin, say what he says) This is a general statement, except that they made an exception for when one is praying; in that case, he does not respond to the mu'adhdhin. Suppose, for example, that one of the mu'adhhdhins was delayed and did not call the adhan until after I had already prayed.They said: He does not respond to the mu'adhdhin,And they explained that: because he is not being invited by this adhan;Because the mu'adhdhin says: (Come to prayer) and you have already prayed, so you do not respond in this situation. However, if you do respond, you are on the right path, taking the general meaning: (When you hear the mu'adhdhin, say what he says) .
