Khateeb should continue his address in the local languagethat is understood by the audience.2. There is no objection in the Islamic Shari’ah for the use ofloudspeaker in order to deliver the Khutbahs of the Fridayprayer as well as Eid Al-Fitr and Eid Al-Adha. Likewise,there is no objection for its use during the prayers. Even it isdesirable to use it in the big mosques where the voice hardlyreaches all corners of such mosques. It is also because the useof loudspeaker serves the objectives of Islamic Shari’ah.Every new instrument that is in the human reach by theGrace of Almighty Allah, serves a purpose of the IslamicShari’ah or helps in accomplishment of the Islamic duties orobligations is in fact a religious requirement.Chairman, Islamic Fiqh CouncilAbdullah Ibn Muhammad Ibn HumaidPresident, Supreme Judicial CouncilSaudi ArabiaDeputy Chairman, Islamic Fiqh CouncilMuhammad Ali Al-HarakanSecretary-General, Muslim World LeagueMembers:Abdul Aziz Ibn Abdullah Ibn BazGeneral President, Research, Ifta, Da’wah and GuidanceMuhammad Mahmood Al-SawwafSaleh Ibn OthaimeenMuhammad Abdullah Al-SubaielMabrook Al-AwaadiMuhammad Shadhli Al-NeiferMustafa Ahmad Al-Zarqa134
