The Adhan-Call to Prayer
Definition: The Adhan is an announcement, with specified wording, informing the people of the occurrence of the time of the prayer.
Ruling:
The Adhan is a collective duty upon the inhabitants of villages and townships.
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:
«إِذَا حَضَرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ فَلْيُؤَذِّنْ لَكُمْ أَحَدُكُمْ، وَلْيُؤَمَّكُمْ أَكْبَرُكُمْ»
When the time of the prayer is present , then one of you call the Adhan, and the eldest of you lead the prayer. (Al-Bukhari & Muslim)
It is a Sunnah for both the traveler and the one living in remote areas.
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:
إِذَا كُنْتَ فِي غَنَمِكَ أَوْ بَادِيَتِكَ، فَأَذَّنْتَ بِالصَّلاةِ، فَارْفَعْ صَوْتَكَ، فَإِنَّهُ لا يَسْمَعُ مَدَى صَوْتِ الْمُؤَذِّنَ جِنٌّ، وَلا إِنْسٌ، وَلا شَيْءٌ إِلا شَهِدَ لَهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ
when you are with your sheep or out in a desert, then call the Adhan for the prayer, raising your voice with the call. For none hears the voice of the moazzin – neither jinn, human, nor anything – except that it will testify to that on the Day of Judgement. (Al-Bukhari)
