What do we do if the adhan is an innovation?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : I want to ask you about the adhan, my Shaykh. You do not approve of this adhan, so what do we do about the imams of the mosques? One of them calls the adhan alone?
The Shaykh : Can you not announce the innovative adhan? Say no, say no.
The questioner: No.
The Shaykh : How is your situation? Can you call the Sunnah adhan?
The questioner : I do not hear it alone.
The Shaykh : Alone? How do you mean?
The questioner : I only hear myself.
The Shaykh : There is no benefit in that.
The questioner : Is this not from the Sunnah?
The Shaykh : No.
The questioner : Well, we lose a lot of reward by not repeating after the mu'adhdhin and making du'a?
The Shaykh : You lose a lot of reward.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : This is between you and your Lord. We say this to make it clear that it is an innovative adhan.
The questioner : We do not repeat after him.
The Shaykh : But why do you say you cannot call the adhan?
The questioner : The endowments prevent it.
The Shaykh : No, they will not prevent it, I am telling you.
The questioner : Is this not from the Sunnah?
The Shaykh : The adhan is finished. If you stand in one of the corners of the mosque, in front of the mosque door.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : And you call the adhan, or if it is not possible outside the mosque door from the inside, who will say no to you?
The questioner : And with a loud voice.
The Shaykh : Who will say to you?
The questioner : An objector might object and say, "O Shaykh, it is not adhan time, why are you calling the adhan?"
The Shaykh : No problem, we call the adhan because this adhan is more prescribed than that one. Yes, that is right.
The questioner : Meaning, there should be no harm. The matter might be reported to...
The Shaykh : My brother, he will know why I am telling him.
The questioner : He is the one who decides, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : If it were.
The questioner : You are the one who decides. If the environment with you in the mosque listens to you and is pleased with what you recite for them, for example, from the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
The Shaykh : Can you not announce the innovative adhan? Say no, say no.
The questioner: No.
The Shaykh : How is your situation? Can you call the Sunnah adhan?
