The Adhan, the Iqamah, and the Prayer.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The Adhan.
The Shaykh : Do not turn your chest, but turn your head like the salam in prayer.
The questioner : Continuing the Adhan.
The Shaykh : Turning the chest away from the qiblah in the Adhan is like turning the chest away from the qiblah in prayer, and turning the head in the Adhan is like turning the head when exiting the prayer with the salam. Just as it is not permissible for a Muslim to turn his chest away from his qiblah during his prayer, so it is not permissible for the mu'adhdhin to turn away from his qiblah in his Adhan. And just as it is prescribed for the one praying, when he wishes to exit the prayer with the salam, to turn his head to the right and to the left, so the Sunnah is likewise in the Adhan: one turns to the right and to the left. As for turning the chest, this is among the things that contradict the Sunnah. We ask Allah to teach us what benefits us. Now, let us pray. Please, establish the prayer.
PrayerThe Shaykh : And its recitation in the first rak'ah is whatever is easy from Surat Ghafir, from verse 38 to verse 44, and in the second rak'ah, Surat al-Tariq.
