Is the Mu'aththin required to turn His Head when saying "Come to prayer, come to success"?

Question :

Is the Mu'aththin required to turn his head to right and left when he says: "Come to prayer, come to success"?

Answer:

It is a part of the Sunnah for the Mu'aththin to turn to left and right while saying ("Come to prayer come to success") so that those on both sides and those behind him may hear, but it is likely that this is only when the Athan is called from atop the minaret and there is no loudspeaker, as was the custom in the past.

But if the Athan is called through a loudspeaker, I consider that there is no need to turn to each side, because the microphone picks up what the Mu'aththin is saying, so, if he turns towards it, his voice will be louder, and if he turns away from it, his voice will be weaker, and the Mu'aththin is commanded to raise his voice and strengthen it.
