Is it permissible to follow the melodized adhan?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : In our neighborhood, there is a person who calls the adhan like the adhan of the Haram.
The Shaykh : What?
The questioner : He calls the adhan like the adhan of the Haram.
The Shaykh : Yes, indeed
The questioner : With elongation, so some students of knowledge said: It is not permissible to respond behind him.
The Shaykh : What is not permissible?
The questioner : Responding behind him, following the adhan with him. So what is the ruling on the adhan? And what is the ruling on responding after it?
The Shaykh : By Allah! I am unable to tell you anything. If I told you: This is an invalid adhan, it would mean that we have invalidated the adhan of the two Harams. And if I said: It is valid, I am also unable to do so, because the scholars (may Allah have mercy on them) say: Melodizing in the adhan is disliked, merely disliked, and they did not say that this invalidates the adhan. Therefore, we say: Follow him, and there is no blame on you.
