Summary
An imam may use a clip-on microphone whose wire has traces of impurity under certain conditions. The wire must be long, and the soiled part must not move or sway with the imam's movements. The imam must also be certain that the impurity does not touch him, and in that case it is not considered as carrying impurity.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Selagi wayar penyepit alat pembesar suara itu panjang dan bahagian yang terkena najis itu tidak bergerak/ bergoyang disebabkan pergerakan imam dan yakin bahawa ia tidak terkena najis tersebut maka ia tidak dikira najis.
