Calling a new Adhaan for multiple Jamaats
Question
Due to lockdown regulations, we hold multiple Jamaats in the Masjid at different times. Is it necessary to call out the Adhaan for every Jamaat or will the first Adhaan suffice?
Answer
In the queried scenario, the first Adhaan will suffice when the Fardh Salaah is being repeated (in the form of a second Jamaat) at the same Masjid. However, for every Jamaat there should be a separate Iqaamah.
