سُئِلَ عَنِ الْأَذَانِ هَلْ يَجُوزُ أَنْ يَكُونَ مِنْ غَيْرِ عَارِفٍ قَالَ لَا يَسْتَقِيمُ الْأَذَانُ وَ لَا يَجُوزُ أَنْ يُؤَذِّنَ بِهِ إِلَّا رَجُلٌ مُسْلِمٌ عَارِفٌ فَإِنْ عَلِمَ الْأَذَانَ فَأَذَّنَ بِهِ وَ إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ عَارِفاً لَمْ يُجْزِ أَذَانُهُ وَ لَا إِقَامَتُهُ وَ لَا يُقْتَدَى بِهِ وَ سُئِلَ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يُؤَذِّنُ وَ يُقِيمُ لِيُصَلِّيَ وَحْدَهُ فَيَجِيءُ رَجُلٌ آخَرُ فَيَقُولُ لَهُ نُصَلِّي جَمَاعَةً فَهَلْ يَجُوزُ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَا بِذَلِكَ الْأَذَانِ وَ الْإِقَامَةِ قَالَ لَا وَ لَكِنْ يُؤَذِّنُ وَ يُقِيمُ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Muhammad Bin Ahmad Bin Al Hassan Bin Ali, from Amro Bin Saeed, from Musaddaq Bin Sadaqa, from Ammar Al Sabaty, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, said, ‘He<sup>asws</sup> was asked about the <span class="iTxt">Azān</span>, ‘Is it allowed if it happens to be from someone without understanding?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘No! The <span class="iTxt">Azān</span> is not correct, and it is not allowed that the <span class="iTxt">Azān</span> be recited except by an understanding Muslim man. So if he knows the <span class="iTxt">Azān</span>, so he can recite with it, but if he does not happen to be understanding, his <span class="iTxt">Azān</span> is not allowed, nor is his <span class="iTxt">Iqamah</span>, nor should he be followed with (in the <span class="iTxt">Jam’at</span>al <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span>)’. And he<sup>asws</sup> was asked about the man who recites an <span class="iTxt">Azān</span> and an <span class="iTxt">Iqamah</span> in order to pray <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span> alone. So another man comes over and is saying to him, ‘We should pray together’. So is it allowed that he should pray <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span> with that <span class="iTxt">Azān</span> and the <span class="iTxt">Iqamah</span>?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘No, but he should recite an <span class="iTxt">Azān</span> and an <span class="iTxt">Iqamah</span>’.
