Assalamu 'Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu
One thing that is very confusing in Endless Bliss (a hismet book) is that it is mentioned that using a loudspeaker is not permissible . It is also mentioned that loudspeakers used in some mosques cause the sunnat of raising the fingers to the ears to be omitted....
Now read here how it becomes confusing from the contents of same book on same page:
[It is written in the books Tabyin-ul-haqaiq and Tahtawi that, "Rasulullah 'sallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam' said to Bilal-i Habashi (Radi Allahu Anhu), 'Put your two fingers on your ears, so that your voice will be louder.'
It is better to put the hands on the ears. For, it is not a sunnat to do so to perform the adhan. Yet it is a sunnat to do so to increase the voice. For the angel who said the adhan in the(above-named Sahabi's) dream did not do so. It was made a sunnat not in order to recite the adhan but in order to increase the voice.
For the causal clause, 'so that your voice will be louder,' points to the hikmat in doing it. If the fingers are not put on the ears, the adhan will be better. If they are put on the ears, the voice being louder will be better."It is seen that to put the fingers on the ears is not a sunnat for the adhan, although it increases the voice. But, because it has been commanded, it is not a bidat, either. It is understood that the loudspeakers used in some mosques today, although they increase the voice, are not sunnat for the adhan and are bidat, and besides this, they cause the sunnat of raising the fingers to the ears to be omitted. It is seen that minarets are not constructed for some mosques on which loudspeakers are placed. [It is stated in the three hundred and twenty-second page of the fifth volume of Fatawa-yi-Hindiyya, "It is permissible to build a minaret in order to have the quarter hear the voice. It is not permissible if it is impossible." This comes to mean that using a loudspeaker is not permissible].
How is it that to put the fingers on the ears is not a sunnat for the adhan although it increases the voice while when using a louspeaker it causes the sunnat of raising the fingers to the ears to be omitted.
Which is which Can anyone with a sharp understanding please explain.
