Resolution Allowing Daily Broadcast of Adhan Signed by Mayor of Minneapolis

TEHRAN (IQNA) – The mayor of Minneapolis, US state of Minnesota, signed an ordinance that allows mosques to broadcast the Adhan, or Islamic call to prayer, five times a day.

The ordinance, signed by Mayor Jacob Frey, allows for Adhan to be broadcast five times instead of the three or four times a day currently permitted by the city.

This move makes Minneapolis the first major city in the United States to allow Adhan broadcasts year-round five times a day.

The Minneapolis City Council unanimously passed the ordinance on Thursday.

This latest ordinance comes years after Mayor Frey first approved a permit for a mosque to broadcast the call to prayer in 2020.
