According to the Maaliki Math-hab is it permissible to recite the Athaan inside the Musjid?

Question

According to the Maaliki Math-hab is it permissible to recite the Athaan inside the Musjid?

Answer

The objective of Athaan according to all Math-habs is to call the community to the Musjid for Salaat. It is therefore Makrooh to call the Athaan from inside the Musjid as a normal/ permanent practice. According to the Maaliki Math-hab, only on the occasion of heavy rain when Isha is performed during Maghrib time should the Isha' Athaan be recited in a low tone inside the Musjid. The Sunnah practice for the usual Athaan is from the Minaarah.
