If the traveler is alone, does he call the adhan?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Shaykh, if the traveler is one person, a single man traveling, does he call the adhan?

The Shaykh : No, calling the adhan is recommended, not obligatory.

The questioner : What is the reason, O Shaykh?

The Shaykh : The reason is [the command] "let them call the adhan for you," and because a single person knows when the time has entered and has nothing to prevent him from it.

The questioner : And if they are a group whose number is known, they know that.

The Shaykh : It is not in every case, it is not in every case. Also, His saying "let them call the adhan for you" indicates that if they are a group, the adhan is necessary. Yes.
