Q: Is it obligatory upon a person to make Adhan (call to Prayer) in case of offering Salah (Prayer) outside the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia? It should be noted that I live in a village where congregational Salah is offered in a remote Masjid (mosque) and I cannot hear the Adhan. Is it sufficient for me to make Iqamah (call to start the Prayer) only? Is my Salah in the past considered valid?

A: The Adhan should be made in any place on earth whether inside or outside the country. So, it is sufficient to make Adhan for Salah anywhere whether inside or outside the country. Also, Adhan is sufficient even if some people cannot hear it. As for people who miss the congregational Salah, they should make Iqamah only. Your Salah performed without hearing the Adhan in the past is valid. (Part No. 6; Page No. 72) May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
