New York City allows Friday Azan on loudspeakers . The Muslim call to prayer can now broadcast by mosques (masjids) in New York City without a permit on Fridays from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m., even in areas with noise restrictions.
This modification also enables the Adhan or Azan, the call to prayer that heard during Ramadan, an important month of fasting and devotion for Muslims, to broadcast in the evenings.
In an effort to streamline procedures and allow places of worship, including mosques, to freely practice their religion in the city, Mayor Eric Adams unveiled these new regulations.
He emphasized that religious organizations don’t need licenses to make their call for Friday prayer more loudly.
In order to call Muslims to prayer, the Adhan traditionally announced over loudspeakers in places of worship.
The initiative, spearheaded by the NYPD, makes it clear that the call to prayer permitted in New York City, even in locations where noise restrictions apply.
