Question:
Is the adhan an announcement and an obligation?
Answer:
Yes, yes, the adhan is an announcement of the time and a call to prayer, and it is obligatory to respond to it.
"Hayya 'ala al-salah, hayya 'ala al-falah" is a call, and the meaning of "Hayya" is: come to the prayer, come to success.
Therefore, when a blind man came to the noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah, there is no guide to lead me to the mosque, is there a dispensation for me to pray in my house? He granted him a dispensation, then he said:Sahih Muslim 653 He said: Yes, he said: , so responding is obligatory for all those of legal capacity among men, except for those with an excuse: such as the sick and the like of those who have an excuse, such as the fearful, and the guard over wealth who fears it will be lost if he responds, and the like of what the scholars have explained regarding excuses for missing Jumu'ah and congregation.
