The ruling on turning the head during the two calls in the adhan in the presence of loudspeakers
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Honorable Shaykh! What is the ruling on turning the head during the two calls in the adhan, especially after the existence of loudspeakers (microphones)?
After the introduction of loudspeakers, turning the head is not recommended; because the purpose of turning is for the person on the right and the person on the left to know or to hear,For this reason, some scholars held that you say: "Hayya 'ala al-salah" to the right, "Hayya 'ala al-salah" to the left, "Hayya 'ala al-falah" to the right, "Hayya 'ala al-falah" to the left. However, with the presence of a loudspeaker, turning affects the sound; because if you turn, the microphone is not in front of you, so the sound weakens. But placing the index fingers in the ears is a sunnah (recommended practice), even if you are calling the adhan through a loudspeaker.
