What is the ruling on using loudspeakers for Quran recitation, remembrance and qasidah before prayer time, other than the call to prayer?

Summary

Using loudspeakers for Quran recitation or remembrance before the call to prayer is permitted if the interval before the adhan is not long and the volume is moderate, not too loud. Giving the first adhan before dawn remains better, as it is the view of the majority of scholars and closer to the Sunnah. Mosque committees should gauge the response of worshippers and neighbours so the practice suits local conditions and does not disturb them.
