Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : You said in your explanation of Riyadh al-Saliheen that you do not see the use of the microphone in the iqamah?
The Shaykh : What?
The questioner : You said in your explanation of Riyadh al-Saliheen
The Shaykh : Yes
The questioner : that you do not see the use of the microphone in the iqamah so that those outside can hear?
The Shaykh : No, no, we did not say that. I do not remember saying it. We said that there is no harm in using the microphone for the iqamah, because the hadith indicates that it is heard from outside, unless there is a fear that the loudness in that involves harm, in which case it should not be used. But generally, there is no harm in it. The real harm is in having the entire prayer conducted through the microphone. Yes.
