    Nasrin Akther
    The adhan (call to prayer) is a collective obligation for Muslims in a community according to the hadith where the Prophet Muhammad instructed that one person should make the call when the time for prayer arrives. While not an individual obligation, it is recommended for men to perform the adhan. There is a difference of opinion about whether women should perform the adhan, with some scholars saying it is recommended and others saying it is disliked. When performing the adhan, it is proper etiquette to face the qiblah, as was the practice of Bilal, based on supporting hadith evidence.

    Points of Benefit Regarding Adhaan

    Rulings on Adhaan (Call) for Prayers

    Rulings on Adhaan (Call) for Prayers

    All Praise is due to Allah, and may the salaah and salaam be on Prophet Muhammad,
    his household, and the noble companions and those who follow them until the Day of
    Resurrection.

    Question:

    Is the adhan an obligation, and should we face the qiblah when performing it?

    Answer:

    The legal meaning of adhan is I'laam (announcement). The Islamic meaning of it is to


    worship Allah (: subhannahu wa ta’ala) through a specific announcement, which
    involves specific remembrances at the time when salaah is due.

    The adhan is a collective duty (fard kifaayah); this means that if it is done by
    someone, then this lifts the duty off the rest due to the hadeeth of Malik ibn al-
    Huwayrith who narrated that the Prophet (:sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said:

    "…And when it is time for the prayer then one of you should pronounce the
    Adhaan (call) for the prayer…" [see Bukhari vol. 9. no. 352]

    The evidence for its obligation upon men is the command of the Prophet () to
    perform it in several ahaadeeth and that he () continued to do it while traveling as
    well as in residence. Therefore, the adhaan is a collective duty for those in residence,
    as well as the traveler.

    The adhaan is not an obligation upon women. There is a difference of opinion


    whether it is permissible for women to perform it. One opinion is that is a Sunnah for
    them to do the iqamah when they gather for the congregation, without the adhaan,
    and that there may be a merit in it. This is the saying of our shaykh, Muhammad ibn
    Saalih al-Uthaimeen (rahimahullaah).

    Some of the scholars of the past went with the opinion that women performing the
    adhaan is allowed and recommended, as in one narration from Imam Ahmad
    (rahimahullaah). In another report, he said: The iqamah is recommended without the
    adhan. It is also reported that Imam Ahmad disliked women doing them.

    From the etiquettes of the adhaan is to face the qiblah because of the action of Bilal
    himself (radiya Allaahu 'anhu) when he performed the adhaan. The report was
    declared hasan by Shaykh al-Albani due to supporting evidences in Irwaa'ul Ghaleel.

    And Allaah, the Most High, knows best.
