The Shaykh’s clarification of some rulings on tarji' in the adhan and his indication of tarji' in recitation.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : For example, he says: "Laa... ilaha illa al-Laa...h," raising the voice. "Hey, you have the reciter here, he went far away!"
The questioner : I told him: "The answer is what I wanted to ask you about for a long time, I remember."
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : This is the issue of the adhan and the issue of tarji' in it. The description of the adhan is one of the very old issues of scholarly disagreement.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : And the strange issues in which Muslims have disagreed.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : And it was done in the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) five times every day.
The Shaykh : Yes, but this is not the answer to the question.
The questioner : He said: "What is the Shaykh’s opinion?"
The Shaykh: Huh?
The questioner : He said: "What is the Shaykh’s opinion?"
The Shaykh : So, did you not show him the Shaykh’s opinion?
The questioner : By Allah, I told him: "I forgot."
The Shaykh : I forgot! Hahaha. Tarji' is related to two places: one is in the recitation of the Qur'an, and the other is in the adhan. Tarji' in the adhan is not the raising of the voice that I described earlier; rather, it is when he comes to the two testimonies, he says them to himself in secret, then he returns and raises his voice with them. This is a recommended practice (sunnah), and this is the adhan of Abu Mahdhura. It is true that there is disagreement among the jurists regarding it, but not every disagreement has a point of view. The disagreement existing in the adhan among the jurists is mostly what the Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah have mercy on him) calls "a difference of variety, not contradiction." For example, making the takbir four times or two times; both the doubling and the quadrupling are established in the Sunnah. Likewise, tarji' in the adhan, which I explained earlier. Tarji' came in the hadith of Abu Mahdhura when the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) taught him, and tarji' did not come in the adhan of Bilal. Accordingly, whoever calls the adhan of Bilal without tarji' has hit the Sunnah, and whoever calls the adhan of Abu Mahdhura with tarji' has hit the Sunnah. But the preferred course, as is the case with all the diverse and varied dhikr and recitations, is to do it sometimes this way and sometimes that way. So, tarji' in the adhan is not related to the voice, but rather to secrecy and loudness. As for tarji' in recitation, it is the raising of the voice as I described to you. (peace and blessings be upon him). The hadith is narrated by Abdullah ibn Mughaffal, who says that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) raised his voice and said:Sahih al-Bukhari 7540 and mentioned "Aaa...a" like this. This is the raising of the voice that I referred to earlier. So, does your question remain related to the adhan, as it appeared from your first question, or to the recitation of the Qur'an?
The questioner : To the adhan.
The Shaykh : To the adhan.
The questioner : But Shaykh, if you please: at the tashahhud, does one say, for example, "I bear witness that there is no god but Allah" once, meaning "I bear witness that there is no god but Allah," saying "I bear witness that there is no god but Allah" in secret, then moving to the second and third testimony?
The Shaykh : Twice "I bear witness that there is no god but Allah" in secret, then he returns and raises his voice, and so on.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
Another questioner : Is tarji' only at the two testimonies, Professor?
The Shaykh : But.
The questioner : Only?
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : I told him: "The answer is what I wanted to ask you about for a long time, I remember."
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : This is the issue of the adhan and the issue of tarji' in it. The description of the adhan is one of the very old issues of scholarly disagreement.

Were I not afraid that the people would crowd around me, I would surely recite in a vibrating pleasant voice as Ibn Mughaffal did
لولا أن يجتمعَ الناس عليَّ لَحكيت لكم ترجيعَهThe questioner : To the adhan.
The Shaykh : To the adhan.
