Should the muezzin turn right and left when saying "Hayya 'ala al-Salah (hasten to prayer)" and "Hayya 'ala al-Falah (hasten to prosperity)," or turn right when saying "Hayya 'ala al-Salah" and left when saying "Hayya 'ala al-Falah"?
The muezzin turns to the right when saying "Hayya 'ala al-Salah (Come to prayer)" both times, and to the left when saying "Hayya 'ala al-Falah (Come to success)" both times. What some muezzins do by turning after saying "Hayya 'ala" has no basis.
