SA mosque warned over prayer noise
Authorities in South African coastal city of Cape Town are expected to meet representatives of a local mosque after a complaint that its daily call to prayer was too noisy, news24 reports.
A letter from the city's environment health officials addressed to the mosque in the Strandfontein area said a complaint had been received about "noise nuisance" every time the adhaan (call to prayer) was delivered through loudspeakers on the roof.
The 4 December letter ordered Masjidus Sauligeen mosque to discontinue the noise caused by the loud speakers and submit a "noise management plan" by an accredited acoustic engineer within 21 days.
An elderly person living close to the mosque submitted the complaint, News24 reports.
The mosque has reportedly since replaced the call to prayer with a single beep, it adds.
The mosque's Iman, Moulana Yusuf Mohammed, told the Muslim Judicial Council (MJC) that they received a complaint several years ago and they immediately decreased the volume of the loudspeaker and he was unsure if there was a new complaint.
Local official Zahid Badroodien the notice had not been to instruct the mosque to end the call to prayer.
"The aim is rather to work with the city to find an amicable solution to address the complaints raised by either lowering the volume or engaging an acoustic engineer to develop potential solutions," he said.
