Question
What is the ruling on the call to prayer (Adhan) and Iqama by an insane person?
Answer
It is disliked for an insane person to perform the call to prayer (Adhan); because the Adhan is a revered remembrance, and having an insane person perform it neglects its reverence, and there is no trust in his words due to his lack of discernment. Therefore, his Adhan and Iqama must be repeated. See: Fath Bab al-Inaya 1: 209.
