The mu'adhdhin appointing someone else without the permission of the one in authority
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Regarding a person whose father has appointed him to call the adhan on his behalf, whether the father is present or traveling, should the person obey his father in calling the adhan, or should he have his father call the adhan for himself?
If it is for a valid excuse, there is nothing wrong with it. However, if it is not for a valid excuse, and the father goes out and comes back, rests at home, and does not call the adhan, but instead appoints his son, then it is necessary to inform the responsible authorities.
The questioner: The same person?The Shaykh: I say: It is necessary that he informs them, saying: "I have now appointed my son to call the adhan for me at all times of the adhan." If he does so, there is nothing wrong with it.
The questioner: This student came to ask me this question, saying: "Should I call the adhan for my father or not?"The Shaykh: Tell him this: If it is for a valid excuse, such as if his father is sick, traveling, or absent for a specific reason, then there is nothing wrong with it and no issue. However, if he makes him call the adhan for him permanently, then it is necessary to seek the permission of the rulers.
The questioner: If it is only sometimes?The Shaykh: If it is only sometimes, there is nothing wrong with it.
If it is for a valid excuse, there is nothing wrong with it. However, if it is not for a valid excuse, and the father goes out and comes back, rests at home, and does not call the adhan, but instead appoints his son, then it is necessary to inform the responsible authorities.
