Ruling on Giving Adhan While Sitting

Hasan Abdi says that I saw a companion of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, Hazrat Abu Zaid, whose foot had been injured while fighting in the path of Allah. He used to give the call to prayer while sitting.

Hazrat Abu Ishaq says that the predecessors considered giving the adhan while sitting to be disliked.

Hazrat Ata says that giving the call to prayer (adhan) while sitting without a valid excuse is disliked (makruh).

Hazrat Ibn Juraij says that I asked Hazrat Ata, "Can a person give the adhan while sitting?" He replied, "No, except if there is an excuse, then it is permissible." I asked, "Due to drowsiness or laziness?" He replied, "No."
