Performing Salaah with a microphone
Question
The tableeghis in most of the markaz do not use speaker during namaz or azan with the intention that it is near to the Prophet Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam's time and they do not state use of speaker haram/illegal or bad in any sense and in some markaz speakers are used. In a big namaz they have multiple Mukabbirs. Please shed some light for our guidance.
Answer
It is permissible to perform the Salaah, both with and without the microphone. However, if there is no need to use the microphone, then it should not be used.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
