Question
An Imaam here in the U.S. says that there is only one Athaan for Jumuah. Is he right?
Answer
Perhaps this Imaam is a Shaafi' or a Hambali. Nevertheless for him to state so unequivocally is wrong and smacks of ignorance. According to the Hanafi and Maaliki Math-habs two Athaans are the emphasized practice. Two Athaans are necessary. According to the Shaafi math-hab, while two Athaans are permissible, one Athaan is preferable, and the same applies to the Hambali Math-hab.
