An Imaam here in the U.S.

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 mathhab, while two Athaans are permissible, one Athaan is preferable, and the same applies to the Hambali Math-hab.
