What is the ruling on turning the head at the two exclamations in the adhan?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good, O honorable Shaykh. What is the ruling on turning the head at the two exclamations?
The Shaykh : Turning the head at the two exclamations is a recommended practice (sunnah). However, now that people call the adhan using a loudspeaker, turning the head may cause the voice to be muffled, because if he turns, he is no longer facing the microphone, and the sound becomes faint.
Therefore, what we see in this situation is that he should remain facing the microphone without turning his head.
The questioner : It is a recommended practice (sunnah).
The Shaykh : As for placing the hands in the ears, yes, that remains, because placing the fingers in the ears strengthens the voice. Yes.
