The ruling on loudspeakers that have an echo and harm the worshippers?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on loudspeakers that have an echo? If they harm the worshippers and the imam does not respond to the congregation’s request to remove them, is it permissible for them to remove them themselves, even if some damage occurs?
Answer:
What disturbs the worshippers is not permissible. It is not permissible to exaggerate with the loudspeakers to the extent that the imam’s voice becomes mixed up and the beauty of the recitation is lost due to the disturbance and the volume of the sound. One should be moderate and take the middle path in this matter, and be reasonable in the use of loudspeakers. As for the disagreement between you and the imam, I do not think you are the ones who should change it, because this causes fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) between you and the imam. However, I see that you should raise the matter to the authority responsible for the mosques, which is the one that deals with him and prevents him from this. Yes.
