Question
In all our Musjids in Gambia the Athaan is called from inside the Musjid. A microphone is used. Is this permissible?
Answer
It is Sunnah to proclaim the Athaan from outside the Musjid. This permanent abandonment of the Sunnah is not permissible. The act in Gambia is bid'ah. The bid'ah of proclaiming the Athaan from inside the Musjid should be eliminated by those who have the power to do so.
