Question

Should we reply to the adhaan by repeating its words and also saying the dua after adhan when it is heard in this three different scenarios:

1. On the radio (even if it is from another country such as Saudi Arabia)

2. From the masjid (loudspeakers)

3. From the masjid (no loudspeakers)

Answer

1, 2, 3. If it is live, then one should respond to it.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
