AL-KAFI #1199: HUKUM AZAN BERDUET ADAKAH IA DIBOLEHKAN
What is the ruling on a duet adhan, where several muezzins call the adhan in turns?
Short answer
A duet or group adhan is prohibited and differs from the sunnah practised by the Prophet and his companions.
A reference, not a fatwa. First sentence of the summary below — read the original fatwa and consult your state authority before acting.

No evidence of gazettement in the source — this is not a gazetted fatwa.
Summary
A duet or group adhan is prohibited and differs from the sunnah practised by the Prophet and his companions. One condition of the adhan is that a single muezzin gives the call, so an adhan completed by another muezzin is not valid. The fatwa notes that the four schools agree on this condition and that the practice should be avoided so that it does not become trifling with a symbol of the religion.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Berbalik kepada persoalan di atas, azan secara berkumpulan ini merupakan perbuatan yang dilarang dan berbeza dengan Sunnah yang diamalkan Nabi SAW dan Sahabatnya.
