Ruling on Raising the Voice of the Adhan with Loudspeakers
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Some mu'adhdhins raise their voices with loudspeakers, saying: "I want my voice to reach its maximum range for the reward." Is this prescribed?
Answer:
The original principle is to raise the voice, as Abu Sa'id said: "When you are with your sheep, raise your voice with the call, for no jinn, human, stone, or tree hears the voice of the mu'adhdhin but will testify for him on the Day of Resurrection that it heard it from your Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)."
Q: It is said that this is specific to the individual voice, not loudspeakers; because with a loudspeaker, the mu'adhdhin does not exert himself to raise his voice, but rather he may call with a low voice and the sound is heard via the loudspeaker?
A: The favor of Allah is vast.
