Know that the scholars differed regarding the time of the muezzin’s call to prayer for the noon and afternoon prayers. Some of them said that the imam delivers the sermon until part or most of his sermon has passed, then the muezzin gives the call to prayer while he is giving the sermon. Some people said that he gives the call to prayer when he begins the second sermon, and some said, “When the imam ascends the pulpit, the muezzin commands.” With the call to prayer, then the call to prayer is like the Friday prayer. When the muezzin finishes, the imam stands up and delivers the sermon. According to this saying, I saw the action today, and it is the doctrine of Abu Hanifa. The first is the doctrine of Malik, and the second is said to be the doctrine of Shafi’i. It was reported on the authority of Malik that he said, as Abu Hanifa said. Ibn Nafi’ narrated it on the authority of Malik, and the hadith is that the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, delivered a sermon.
