| When to call the Adhan: |
The Malikis say: It is not valid
for a supererogatory or funeral prayer or for an obligatory daily prayer
performed after the lapsing of its time (al-salat al- fa'itah). |
The Shafi'is do not consider it
valid for janazah, mandhurah and nawafil prayers. |
The Hanbalis observe: It is not
valid to make adhan for a funeral prayer (salatal-janazah) or for a
supererogatory prayer (al-salat al nafilah) or for one performed to fulfill
a vow (al-salat al-mandhurah). |
The Hanafis state: It is not valid
for the prayers performed on the two celebrations ('idayn), for the prayer
performed on the occurrence of an eclipse (salat al- kusuf), for prayers
made for rain (istisqa'), and for tarawth and sunnah prayers. |
The Imamis observe: The Shari'ah
has introduced adhan only for the five daily salats, and it is mustahabb for
them, whether performed as ada' or qada', with a group (jama'ah) or singly (furada),
during journey or stay, both for men and women. It is not valid for any
other salat, mustahabb or wajib, and the Performer (mu'adhdhin) will just
call out "al-salat" three times on occasions of salat al-kusuf and 'Idayn. |
| The Conditions for Adhan:
maintaining continuity of its recital and the sequence of its different
parts, and that the mu'adhdhin be a sane Muslim man. Adhan by a child of
discerning age is valid. Taharah is not required for adhan. |
It is not valid for an Arab to
make adhan in any other language, though it is valid for a non Arab to make
it in his own tongue, for himself and his co-linguals. |
Adhan is valid even without niyyah.
The other schools require niyyah. It is not valid for an Arab to make
adhan in any other language, though it is valid for a non Arab to make it in
his own tongue, for himself and his co-linguals. |
The Hanbalis consider making adhan
in any language other than Arabic as being unconditionally valid. |
Adhan is valid even without niyyah.
The other schools require niyyah. It is not valid for an Arab to make
adhan in any other language, though it is valid for a non Arab to make it in
his own tongue, for himself and his co-linguals. |
The Imamis observe: Adhan is not
valid before the arrival of the time of salat except in the case of salat
al-fajr. |
