Question
On reading your most recent article titled "Athaan on a PA System", something came to mind. I'm unable to figure out why would a new technological system be added to the Simple Sunnah Method of Athaan. Can there be any reason or benefit in this?
Answer
It is queer that you are unable to figure out why would a new technological system be added to the Simple Sunnah Method of Salaat. You have to first figure out why you have not found fault with the PA system added to the Simple Sunnah method of Salaat. While the PA system is permissible for Athaan, it is prohibited for Salaat. Despite the prohibition, almost all the Musaajid are using the device for corrupting Salaat. Regarding the Athaan there is no Shar'i incumbency to use a PA system.
