Question
What are the rights of the regular Muath-thin of the Musjid? Every Tom, Dick and Harry get on to the mike to advertise their Athaan.
Answer
The problem is that the trustees of Musjids nowadays consist of Toms, Dicks and Harrys. That is why just any chap overrides the Muath-thin for the sake of riya. Giving the Athaan is the right of the regular Muath-thin. It is not permissible for anyone else to proclaim the Athaan and Iqaamah without the happy consent of the Muath-thin.
