QUESTION:

My friend who is Iranian is a Muslim but not practicing.  But now, he has
changed and started practicing Islam.  He asked me this interesting
question.  He told me that he has a tape with the Azaan, but it also
contains sounds and "music".  I presume it is drums in the background.  He
also told me it is not only one person reciting the Azaan, rather it is a
group of people reciting, kind of like a choir. Is this allowed?

ANSWER:

This sort of recording is haram.  Your friend may be advised to purchase
simple Azan cassettes which are available.
