What is the ruling on reciting interior adhan in Friday prayer?

The adhan to announce dhuhr time on Friday in the period of the Prophet (saw) was the interior adhan that was recited in mosque after the khatib took his seat on the pulpit. For this reason, it is one of the sunnahs of khutbah that the interior adhan which is recited before khutbah on Friday is performed before khatib.

Upon the expansion of the city in the period of Uthman, the interior adhan could not be heard everywhere. Therefore, the adhan was started to be recited outside in order to announce the start of prayer time. Prophet Muhammad’s (saw) practice of interior adhan was also continued to be practised (Kasani, Bada’i, I, 152).
