Ruling on adding to the adhan

We return in this episode, if you would be so kind, Your Eminence the Shaykh, to a letter from our brother Sa'id Khamis al-Suwayl from Hadramawt, the People's Democratic Republic of Yemen, the Taris district. We presented some of his questions in a previous episode, and in this episode he asks and says: What is the ruling in Islam regarding one who adds to the call to prayer some recitation of the Qur'an or some other words through the loudspeakers, where this phenomenon is widespread in many areas, and it is most common in the month of Ramadan before the time of Fajr and at any time of the night they wish? In such a case, voices multiply from all directions of the area, which affects the residents. Are these actions valid or not? Please inform us, may Allah reward you.
Answer: This is something that is not prescribed; rather, it is a religious innovation (bid'ah). It is obligatory for the mu'adhdhin not to add anything to the adhan, neither before it nor after it. He should not recite before the adhan, nor speak any words before the adhan, nor after the adhan raise his voice with the salutation upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) or with anything else. No, rather he should perform the adhan completely, beginning it with his saying: "Allahu Akbar," and ending it with his saying: "La ilaha illa Allah." He should not do anything before it, nor do anything after it, because that is from the innovations.
And he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: meaning: it is returned to its owner. Muslim narrated it in the Sahih, and al-Bukhari suspended it, affirming it, from Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her). And because of his (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: meaning: it is returned. And Bilal and no one else in the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did anything before the adhan or after the adhan. So when he says: "La ilaha illa Allah," he closes the loudspeaker; it ends. And in the adhan, he begins... and in the first part, he begins with "Allahu Akbar," beginning the adhan with this, not speaking anything before the adhan. So he does not say: "Pray," or "Subhan Allah," or the like, or recite before the adhan. No, and after the adhan, when he says: "La ilaha illa Allah," he does not say: "O Allah, send blessings and peace upon the Messenger of Allah," raising his voice with it on the loudspeaker. No, rather he closes the loudspeaker, then he sends blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) between himself and himself. If those around him hear it, there is no harm, but he closes the loudspeaker. It is not part of the adhan, rather he says it after the adhan between himself and himself, and there is no objection to those around him hearing it. Then he says: as it came in the hadith. Al-Bukhari narrated in the Sahih from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said: Al-Bayhaqi (may Allah have mercy on him) added with a good chain: And in Muslim, from Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-As (may Allah be pleased with them both), from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said: .
This is what is prescribed for the believer, but after closing the adhan, after the adhan ends. He closes the loudspeaker, then he does this. And likewise, before it, he does not speak anything.
And the summary is: that the adhan begins with "Allahu Akbar" and ends with "La ilaha illa Allah." So whoever adds something with which he raises his voice, or on the loudspeaker, he has committed an innovation, so it is to be refuted and he is to be taught.
The presenter: May Allah bless you. So, the salutation upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) with a raised voice, close to the voice with which the adhan was raised, is considered this...
The Shaykh: An innovation.
The presenter: An innovation.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you.
