Laws of Azaan
Azaan of a person who shaves his beard
Q:
- The azan of such a person, who shaves or trims his beard less than a fist is Makrooh tahreemi, is that particular person committing a sin at the same time while giving the azan.
- Does such a person receive the rewards mentioning in the ahadith for giving azan (same amount, less or not at all).
Women covering their hair at the time of Azaan
Q: Is it obligatory for a female to cover her head during the time of 'Azaan' when she is at home? If not then why muslim women act like this?
Placing the forefingers in the ears when calling out the Azaan
Q: I went to a Masjid and seen that the Muazzin calls the azaan with only one finger in his ears. The other hand is down. Is this authentic?
Clean shaven person giving the Azaan
Q: Is it okay for a clean shaven person to give the azaan?
Calling out the Azaan even though there may be only one person
Q: At work we have a Namaaz room or Jamaat Khana. The question I have is that do we need to give azaan for the different Namaaz. At times we have only 2 people reading the salaat but do not know if there will be someone coming. For Dhur Namaaz we have a Jamaat of about 4 to 5 people.
How many times should the Takbeer be Recited at the end of the Azaan
Q: I always hear the Muazzin say takbeer twice at the end of Azaan, but I now read in the revised version of Taleem-ul-Haq that it needs to be said four times. Kindly clarify?
