Do small mosques suffice with the adhan of large mosques?

Question:
The other question says: If we are praying in a small mosque and we hear the adhan of a large mosque, is it the Sunnah to have an adhan in this small mosque, or do we suffice with the adhan we heard in the large mosque?
Answer:
As long as the mosque is one in which prayer is performed, it is the Sunnah for there to be an adhan in it and an iqamah in it. Even if you hear the adhan of the other mosque, the mosques in a town generally, especially with these loudspeakers, hear one another. So it is the Sunnah for every mosque to have an adhan in it and an iqamah in it, for perhaps this one will be neglected, or that one will be neglected.
So the conclusion is: It is the Sunnah to have an adhan in every mosque and to establish the prayer in it, and whoever hears the adhan in any mosque should respond to it.
