Summary
According to Shafii scholars such as Ibn Hajar al-Haitami and al-Syabramallisi, calling the adhan during a fire is recommended. This view rests on analogy with the prayer adhan, since satan flees when the adhan is called. The fatwa adopts this view and holds that the adhan is permissible during a fire, and it also encourages saying takbir often. It notes that cases other than a newborn and the harassment of jinn or satan are stated in the fiqh texts without explicit textual proof.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
maka di sisi tokoh-tokoh mazhab Imam al-Syafie menyatakan bahawa hukumnya adalah sunat.
