What should we, the imams of the mosques, do in the face of this religious innovation of the adhan that is imposed on us? Is it permissible for each of us to call the adhan for himself?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner: All right, let me ask you about the adhan, my Shaykh. You do not approve of an adhan like this.
The Shaykh: Indeed.
The questioner: All right, what should we imams in the mosques do? One person calls the adhan alone by himself?
The Shaykh: Can you not announce the adhan of religious innovation? Say no.
The questioner: I cannot.
The Shaykh: Go ahead, can you call the adhan of the Sunnah?
The questioner: I do not hear... by myself.
The Shaykh: By yourself, what do you mean?
The questioner: I hear myself, but is this not from the Sunnah?
The Shaykh: No.
The questioner: Yes, all right, you will have a great reward for not repeating after the mu'adhdhin and not making du'a.
The Shaykh: You will have a great reward.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh: This is between you and your Lord. We say what we say to clarify that it is an adhan of religious innovation.
The questioner: We do not repeat after it.
The Shaykh: Yes, but why do you say you cannot call the adhan?
The questioner: The Waqf prevented us.
The Shaykh: No, they did not prevent you. I will tell you.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh: The adhan has ended, so if you stand in one of the corners of the mosque, in front of the mosque door.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh: ... or if it is not possible outside the mosque door, from the inside, who will tell you no? Who will tell you no?
The questioner: The people will object and say, "O Shaykh, he is not the mu'adhdhin, why do you want to call the adhan?"
The Shaykh: It is no big deal, we call the adhan because this adhan is more prescribed.
The questioner: It clarifies, meaning.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner: Meaning there is no harm, it may be reported to...
The Shaykh: My brother, he will know about it.
The questioner: He is the one who determines.
The Shaykh : From whom?
The questioner: You are the one who determines, 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: Indeed.
The questioner: All right, what should we imams in the mosques do? One person calls the adhan alone by himself?
