Is It Obligatory To Listen Or Respond To Adhan?
Hassan sahab did not say that responding to adhan is not deen. He said that it is not a part of the Sharia . He further elaborated, that the best response to adhan is to actually go and pray. Responding to the words of adhan after understanding them is very natural, and it is reportedly done by Prophet Muhammad SAW as well. We can also adopt his uswa and do the same. It is, however, not obligatory.
