Is it possible 2 transmit live rendition of salaat to homes surrounding a masjid by means of transmittor and receivers at home?

Question

The purpose of installing a transmittor and receivers at homes is that the azaan could not be heard with the normal mike system.Now the question above has arisen.Should we allow this or not?(Benefits and or harms)At present the azaan,jumah khutbah and other special programs r being transmitted.

Answer

To install transmitters is Mubaah (permissible). There is no prohibition in
Shari'ah for that.

The transmitters serve as a reminder for Salaat and an ideal opportunity for
womenfolk to benefit from the discourses of the Ulama in the Musjid.
