If the mu'adhdhin calls the adhan for a prayer that he has already combined, is it obligatory for him to pray it again with the congregation?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The mu'adhdhin who calls the adhan after combining: is it obligatory for him to pray? Is it obligatory for him to pray with them? Does he want to call the adhan for the prayer that was combined?
The Shaykh : It may be obligatory, and it may not be. Describe the situation in full. Did he call the adhan in the mosque?
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Okay, and he prayed the prayer as a combined advance prayer.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Okay, when he called the adhan, the iqamah for the congregational prayer was made.
The questioner : He wants to make the iqamah.
The Shaykh : Answer the question, may Allah guide you. Does "iqamah was made" mean the congregational prayer was prayed?
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Okay, what did he do?
The questioner : He was present and called the adhan.
The Shaykh : What did he do after calling the adhan?
The questioner : The question is whether he is required to pray.
The Shaykh : May Allah guide you, answer the question I am asking you. Was the prayer established in the mosque after the adhan, or not?
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Okay, what did he do?
The questioner : We do not know yet. He is asking a question for the future. Do you know the ruling if a person prayed in a mosque, and a congregation was present in that mosque, but he was not in the mosque, rather he was in another mosque? Is he required to pray with this congregation again? Do you know this ruling?
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh: All right.
The questioner : Is the question here about obligation, or...?
The Shaykh : Do not develop the question here, may Allah guide you. What was your first question?
The questioner : Is it obligatory for the mu'adhdhin who combined to pray the congregation with the imam?
The Shaykh : Okay, what is the ruling for the one who prayed in his home, came to the mosque, and the prayer was established? Do you know?
The questioner : The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded prayer.
The Shaykh : The same answer applies; he is commanded to pray, especially since he is the mu'adhdhin of the mosque.
The questioner : As for if he prayed and left, there is nothing upon him.
The Shaykh : You must say: if he prayed, called the adhan, and left.
The questioner : Excuse me, Shaykh, if he called the adhan and left.
The Shaykh : That is it.
The questioner : Yes, if he called the adhan and left to his own state, and left those who came to the mosque to pray, there is nothing upon him.
The Shaykh : No, here you must qualify it by saying that the prayer was not established, meaning...
The questioner : Yes, with this qualification.
The Shaykh : He said it like this.
The Shaykh : It may be obligatory, and it may not be. Describe the situation in full. Did he call the adhan in the mosque?
