Question

I noticed that the muazzin in our mosque, before giving azaan recites the following durood - sallallaho alannabiyye ummiye wa alihi sallallaho alayhi wassalam salatau wa salaaman alayka ya rasoollah Is it correct to recite this before giving azaan as well as before iqaamat?

Answer

If it is done silently by himself, then any form of Durood or Dhikr may be recited.

The word, 'Yaa Rasulullah' should not be used since many people attach wrong beliefs to these words. If these words are said aloud like the words of the Adhaan and Iqaamat, then this is a Bid'ah and will be Haraam.
