Proposal to limit loudspeakers in mosques in Saudi Arabia to bank calling and iqamah Do not use the loudspeaker outside during prayers. The Ministry of Islamic Affairs also recommended that the volume be reduced when using loudspeakers. The Ministry of Islamic Affairs has recommended that the use of loudspeakers outside mosques be restricted to banking and iqamah. The Minister of Religious Affairs, Dr. abdulatif, directed the Religious Affairs Offices working in various areas to inform the church staff about this. Abdul Latif Al-Sheikh instructed. The minister suggested that the noise should not exceed one-third of the device and that legal action should be taken against those who violate the new decision. It has been noticed that outdoor loudspeakers are used during prayers in some churches, making it difficult for the elderly, children and the sick to stay in nearby homes and other shelters. This was followed by a new decision by the ministry. The voices of the Imams during the prayers in the mosques make it difficult for those who pray at home. The Minister of Religious Affairs has directed that the voice of the Imam should be heard inside the mosque and that it is not a religious requirement to make it heard by those in the area.
