The questioner : He says: the adhan of Makkah or the city of Riyadh that is broadcast to us on the radio, and the person had the radio on. Is it permissible to follow this adhan? And when it ends, do we say the supplication that is recited after the completion of the adhan raised by the mu'adhdhin, or not? What is the ruling? May Allah reward you with good?
The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions.
The adhan that is raised is either broadcast on the air.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : That is, the adhan was for the time of prayer.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : From the mu'adhdhin, then it should be responded to, due to the generality of the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)Sunan an-Nasa'i 678Sahih (Darussalam) except that the jurists (may Allah have mercy on them) said: if he has already performed the prayer for which the adhan is being called, then he does not respond.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : As for when the adhan is recorded and is not an adhan at the time, meaning it is not broadcast on the air, which is the second case, then he does not respond to it, because this is not a real adhan, meaning that the man did not raise it when he was commanded to raise it, but rather it is a recording of a previous adhan.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions.

When you hear the Mu'adhdhin then say what he says
إذا سمعتم المؤذن فقولوا مثل ما يقولThe questioner : Yes.
