Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Who said that the minarets in mosques are among the religious innovations that were introduced?
Answer:
No, that statement is not correct. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered the adhan to be called from elevated places, from a roof, or from other high places; because the purpose is to convey the message to the people, and the higher it is, the more it reaches the people.
Q: Regarding minbars, they say that having more than three steps is a religious innovation?
A: The matter is broad, if Allah wills. The matter is broad.
