Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : And he was afflicted with an ailment, either fainting or something else, and another person wanted to complete it for him. Does he complete it, or ...?
The Shaykh : He asks, saying: Is it permissible for two men to perform a single adhan for a reason or without a reason? Meaning, when the adhan was halfway through, he said to his companion, "Complete it for me." The answer is: No, it is not valid, whether for a reason or without a reason. If the mu'adhdhin is afflicted with something that prevents him from completing his adhan, let him call the adhan anew. Yes.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : Well, it is known what comes after we have reached him. Yes.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : Well, the completion. Ahmad al-Khayr claimed that some scholars said: The "al" in "al-adhan" is for the definite article (al-'ahd), and the intended meaning is when you hear your mu'adhdhin. Here we give you a rule: If the matter revolves around whether the "al" is for generality (al-'umum) or for the definite article (al-'ahd), the original ruling is that it is for generality. This is the original ruling unless there is evidence. And this is a rule that you must understand: the original ruling is that it is for generality. Is it or not? And what is the evidence for that?
