Is the Sunnah of the Adhan fulfilled in every mosque or not, if the Adhan is broadcast via satellites from the central mosque to the rest of the mosques? And what is the interpretation of the statements of jurists like Abu Hanifa, Malik, and Ahmad ibn Hanbal concerning the ruling on the Adhan, the categorization of mosques, and the Adhan of two adjacent mosques?

The and are a communal obligation (fard kifayah), and one Adhan suffices for a city if it reaches everyone. However, broadcasting the Adhan via loudspeakers is not permissible and does not fulfill the obligation. Rather, a live Adhan is required for each prayer time in every mosque.
