The questioner : Shaykh, in the same previous context, does it mean from your words that regarding jobs in such matters, one should not approach them?
The Shaykh : One should not approach them if he is a Bedouin who travels or raids in the manner of a raider. But if it is according to the methodology we mentioned earlier, then it is obligatory. Do you understand? How do you understand it?
The questioner : Yes, our Shaykh. Regarding the adhan, it is subject to the state, so does that mean he should step aside from it?
The Shaykh : Yes, if he is tasked with calling the adhan and he contradicts the Shari'ah, then the answer is what you heard.
The questioner: May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : And to you.
