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, and blessings and peace be upon the Messenger of 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.
