Does not being allowed to give the adhaan over loudspeakers mean that the ritual of the adhaan is not being established?>

Question

If the Muslims are prevented from giving the adhaan over loudspeakers, is this considered as being unable to manifest the symbols of Islam and are they therefore obliged to migrate (make hijrah) and not remain in that land?

Answer

Praise be to Allah.

We put this question to Shaykh ‘Abd-Allaah ibn Jibreen (may Allaah preserve him), and he answered as follows:

This is not regarded as coming under that heading, because the use of loudspeakers is a new thing. They can still give the adhaan with their own voices and establish the symbols of their religion. And Allaah knows best.
