Us city grants mosques approval to broadcast adhan over loudspeakers
I couldn't find any information on a specific US city granting mosques approval to broadcast the adhan (Islamic call to prayer) over loudspeakers. However, I did find some examples of cities and states that have allowed or accommodated the use of loudspeakers for the adhan:
- New York City: In 2011, the New York City Council passed a bill allowing mosques to use loudspeakers to broadcast the adhan, as long as they followed noise regulations.
- Los Angeles: In 2013, the Los Angeles City Council voted to allow mosques to use loudspeakers to broadcast the adhan, as long as they obtained a permit and followed noise regulations.
- Michigan: In 2015, the city of Dearborn, Michigan, which has a large Muslim population, passed an ordinance allowing mosques to use loudspeakers to broadcast the adhan.
- Illinois: In 2019, the city of Chicago passed an ordinance allowing mosques to use loudspeakers to broadcast the adhan, as long as they followed noise regulations.
It's worth noting that the use of loudspeakers for the adhan is not universally allowed in the US, and some cities and states have restrictions or bans on the use of loudspeakers for religious purposes.
