Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : In a non-Muslim country.

The Shaykh : Yes.

The questioner : He takes charge.

The Shaykh : He takes charge of what?

The questioner : In a non-Muslim country.

The Shaykh : Yes.

The questioner : ... .

The Shaykh : Yes, yes.

The questioner : Is it permissible... for example, for them to appoint a person to call the adhan and collect a sum of money from everyone?

The Shaykh : Yes, there is nothing wrong with it, as long as he does not make a condition with them and say, "I will not call the adhan unless I receive such and such."

The questioner : In some countries, O Shaykh, it is not possible to display the adhan outside the mosque.

The Shaykh : Yes.

The questioner : Is it sufficient to call the adhan inside the mosque?

The Shaykh : Yes, but the people must hear it.

The questioner : In a place they come to from far away, O Shaykh.

The Shaykh : They do not hear it at all.

The questioner : From far away, they do not hear it.

The Shaykh : No, it is necessary that it be heard. May Allah help us. He should call the adhan with a loudspeaker or without a loudspeaker, but it must be heard.

The questioner : The adhan outside the mosque.

The Shaykh : So he comes and calls the adhan with them; he does not call the adhan in the mosque. Yes.

The questioner : ... the loudspeaker.

The Shaykh : Translate this for us.
