Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : ... It is permissible to call the adhan for a need, if a person is in a desert ... and hears something that frightens him, as some of the Salaf said, should he call the adhan because the jinn flee?The Shaykh : It was reported in the hadith
If the ghaylān haunt you, hasten with the adhan. إذا تغولت الغيلان فبادور بالأذان
, because the adhan drives them away, and the ghaylān are jinn that haunt people on their journeys, meaning they take on forms and terrify travelers.

The questioner : Is it permissible in this situation?

The Shaykh : As long as the command for it has come and it is established that the adhan drives away Satan and makes him flee, and he passes gas.
