Does one turn one's head in the adhan if it is being amplified by a loudspeaker?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Turning one's head in the loudspeaker?
The Shaykh : What?
The questioner : Turning one's head in the loudspeaker?
The Shaykh : No, turning one's head in the loudspeaker is not needed now, because if one turns in the loudspeaker, the sound drops. The original purpose of turning is so that the people on the right and the people on the left can hear.
The questioner : ...
The Shaykh : Yes?
The questioner : ... from the Sunnah ... low?
The Shaykh : No, that is a mistake, because the Messenger of Allah did not command it to the extent that we would say it is obligatory to do it in every case. Rather, he always used to do it, and the reason for it is apparent. As for placing the two fingers in the ears, yes, that is done whether the microphone is present or not.

The Shaykh : Yes
The questioner : ...
The Shaykh : Yes, we do not say it is an innovation. We do not say it is an innovation. We say there is no doubt that it is a recommended practice, but the knowledge of it or the wisdom behind it is that each side should have a share of the call. This is what led some scholars to prefer that "Hayya 'ala al-salah" (Come to prayer) be said once to the right and once to the left, and likewise "Hayya 'ala al-falah" (Come to success). Yes.
