If there are no microphones in the mosque, where should the mu'adhdhin stand?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Shaykh, if there are no microphones in the mosque, for example,
The Shaykh : If there are no microphones in the mosque,
The questioner : Is the prayer established outside the mosque?
The Shaykh : No, it is better that it be established inside the mosque,
The questioner : so that the people can hear it,
The Shaykh : and some scholars, I think, hold that it is established in a high place near the mosque, because Bilal used to say to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), "Do not get ahead of me with the ameen." This indicates that Bilal was not in the row, for if he had been in the row, he would not have said this.
