The questioner : Did the Sunnah mention melodic intonation for the call to prayer or supplication?
The Shaykh : As for the call to prayer, the scholars said that it is disliked to give it a melodic intonation, meaning to make it like the tunes of singing. Rather, it should be recited in a plain, unadorned manner.
As for melodic intonation in supplication, it is likewise not appropriate to make it like the tunes of singing. However, softening the voice so that the listener becomes humble and his heart is present is permissible.
