Does the one who misses the prayer call the adhan for her?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Suppose it is found that the people of the mosque slept through their prayer until the people in the neighboring mosques had already prayed, and then they came to the mosque late. They differ on whether they should call the adhan or not.
The Shaykh : No. If a person is in a place where there are mu'adhdhins, he does not call the adhan, because the adhan is a collective obligation (fard kifayah) for announcing the time, and that has already been accomplished. However, if he is in a town where the adhan has not been called, or for example, if people are overtaken by the dawn in the desert, meaning outside the area where the adhan is called, and then they arrive in the city, in that case they call the adhan, because they are not in the area where the adhan was called. Is that clear? This happens often. For example, a person is on a plane and lands after the adhan, then enters the mosque. In that case, he calls the adhan, but he does not call it through a microphone. If he calls it through a microphone, it causes confusion for the people. He calls the adhan only for his companions.
