TANGERANG - The daily chairman of the Al Azhom Mosque Prosperity Council (DKM), Tangerang City, Chaerudin, spoke about the statement by the Minister of Religion Yaqut Cholil Qoumas regarding the sound of the call to prayer with barking dogs.

According to him, he did not want to interfere with the statement. Because someone has already taken care of it.

"But the mosque's loudspeakers shouldn't have to be (managed) by the Minister, there are subordinates. Let them take care of it,” said Chaerudin when confirmed, Thursday, February 24.

Regarding the rules for sounding the call to prayer at each mosque in Tangerang City, it was appropriate before the Circular Letter of the Minister of Religion Number 5 of 2022.

"So far, there have been no complaints and there has never been a problem with the community regarding the volume," he said.

In addition, said Chaerudin, regarding the loudspeaker being only used during the recitation, he admitted that he agreed with the regulation. Because according to Chaerudin, this is done so as not to disturb the community.

"In Al Azhom, before the call to prayer, it takes about 5-10 minutes to read the Koran, if there is a recitation, use a loudspeaker inside," he said.
