The muezzin is required to be a Muslim, male, and of sound mind. It is recommended that he be melodious, trustworthy, knowledgeable of prayer times, and not blind. The most deserving of calling the is the regular muezzin, and no one should call it before him unless he is absent and there is fear of missing the prayer time.
