Is it true that when the mu'adhdhin calls the adhan, it is not recommended to get up for prayer until he says (Hayya 'ala al-falah)?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : We have heard from some people that when the mu'adhdhin calls the adhan, it is not recommended for a person to get up for prayer until he says: Hayya 'ala al-falah, Hayya 'ala al-falah. Is this correct?
The Shaykh : Yes, some of the scholars (may Allah have mercy on them) said: It is not befitting to get up when one hears the call until he says a part of the adhan. They said this is because it resembles the devil when he turns away upon hearing the adhan. If the devil hears the adhan, he turns away and passes gas due to the severity of the impact of what he hears upon him. The scholars said, therefore, that it is not befitting for a person to get up from the moment he hears the adhan, but rather he should wait until he says several takbirs. This is what some of the scholars said, and I have some reservations about this.
The questioner : May Allah bless you.
