Third question of Fatwa no.

Q 3: My teacher says that
adhan (call to Prayer) was ordained along with Salah (Prayer) on the occasion of Isra' (Night Journey) and Mi`raj (ascension to Heaven). Is this correct?
A:
Adhan was ordained in
Madinah after Hijrah (Prophet's migration). The foregoing is authentically reported in the Hadith of
`Umar ibn Al-Khattab
and `Abdullah ibn Zayd ibn `Abdu-Rabbihi Al-Ansary
(may Allah be pleased with them both). Accordingly, your teacher's saying that Adhan was ordained in the heavens along with Salah is a false claim that has no valid basis.
