The Allahabad High Court on Friday allowed the recitation of ‘azan’ by a single individual in Uttar Pradesh mosques without the use of any loudspeaker during the COVID-driven lockdown.
A bench of justices Shashi Kant Gupta and Ajit Kumar granted the relief to the Muslim community saying ‘azan may be an essential and integral part of Islam’ but its ‘recitation through loudspeakers or other sound amplifying devices cannot be said to be an integral part of the religion’.
