Question

The question text was not published separately; the title stands in for it.

Is it permissible for a minor (physically immature) child to call out the Adhaan?

Answer

The Adhaan of a minor (physically immature) is valid. (Tahtaawi pg.108; Qadeemi). However, a reliable adult should call out the Adhaan. Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) said, ?The best among you should call out the Adhaan.? (Ibid)

And Allah Ta'ala Knows Best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
