The ruling on the mu'adhdhin turning to the right and left at the two phrases

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
What is the ruling on the mu'adhdhin turning in the adhan when he says: "Hayya 'ala al-salah, hayya 'ala al-falah"?
Some scholars hold that one should turn to the right or left with every phrase,She says: "Hayya 'ala al-salah" to the right, "Hayya 'ala al-salah" to the left, so that those on your right and those on your left can hear,And you say: "Hayya 'ala al-falah" to your right, "Hayya 'ala al-falah" to the left. The evidence for this is ambiguous. This is for this view and for the view currently practiced, which is to say: "Hayya 'ala al-salah" twice to the right, and "Hayya 'ala al-falah" twice to the left. This is the current practice. The transmitted texts are ambiguous, so what I see is that there is no harm in adopting either this or that. This is regarding the mu'adhdhin without a loudspeaker. As for now, there is no need to turn; because if you turn now, there may be harm in the turning, as the microphone may not be in front of you, which weakens the sound. So what I see in the matter of the loudspeaker now is that he should not turn to the right or left, neither in "Hayya 'ala al-salah" nor in "Hayya 'ala al-falah." The turning now should be regarding the speakers; it should be that, for example, a speaker is placed on the right and a speaker on the left in the minaret.
