Is it permissible for the mu'adhdhin to call the adhan before performing wudu'?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The questioner, among his questions, asks: Is it permissible for the mu'adhdhin to call the adhan before performing wudu'?
The Shaykh : Yes. It is permissible for the mu'adhdhin to call the adhan before performing wudu' because ritual purity is not a condition for the adhan, and the adhan is a form of dhikr without a doubt. And the mother of the believers, A'ishah, said: "The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to remember Allah in all his states". However, the scholars (may Allah have mercy on them) said that it is disliked for one in a state of janabah to call the adhan. I do not recall their evidence, but the principle is that dhikr is permissible for one in a state of janabah. Yes.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
