Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Is it permissible to give the adhan without wudu'?

The Shaykh : Yes, it is permissible for the mu'adhdhin to give the adhan without wudu', because wudu' is not a condition for the validity of the adhan. Rather, the scholars said that it is valid for him to give the adhan while in a state of janabah, provided the minaret is outside the mosque. However, it is disliked (makruh) for him to give the adhan while in a state of janabah, because the angels do not enter a house in which there is a person in a state of janabah until he performs wudu'. Yes.

The questioner : This questioner says, O honorable Shaykh.
