Is it sufficient for the mosque mu'adhdhin to rely on the adhan of another mosque and not call the adhan?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : O Shaykh, is it sufficient for a mosque where no adhan is called to cover another mosque whose adhan is audible?
The Shaykh : Yes, it is permissible. This is permissible, but there is a fear of harm, which is that the people of this neighborhood wait for the adhan of their own mu'adhdhin, and this results in harm.
The questioner : The matter, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : What is the matter?
The questioner : Is it obligatory for one of you to call the adhan for the congregation? Is it a collective obligation (fard kifayah) for the congregation itself?
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : ...
The Shaykh : These people will travel because he said to return to their families. Will they travel, or do we say, travel and rely on the adhan of the city, even if there are days between you?
The questioner : ...
The Shaykh : Yes, fine, there is no problem.
The questioner : ...
The Shaykh : What is the problem?
The questioner : The problem is that the adhan... The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Let one of you call the adhan for you." This is for the congregation, so it is obligatory for every congregation to have an adhan.
The Shaykh : No, it is correct. No, because these people will separate from the town. These people will separate from the town and travel away from it, and there is no one else with them.The questioner : ...It is more general than the evidence, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : No, it is more general. He said, "We stayed with him for twenty nights, then we wanted to travel, and they were a group." He said, "Let one of you call the adhan."
The questioner : ...
The Shaykh : Yes, because of his saying "one of you."
The questioner : ...
The Shaykh : Yes, we do not say "all of you," meaning you twenty people. We do not say "all of you call the adhan," and they were about twenty people. We do not say "all of you call the adhan." This is problematic.
The Shaykh : Yes, it is permissible. This is permissible, but there is a fear of harm, which is that the people of this neighborhood wait for the adhan of their own mu'adhdhin, and this results in harm.
