An interesting question and answer I came across...thought it would be helpful...
-------------------------
QUESTION 1
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 1
This sort of recording is haram. Your friend may be advised to purchase simple Azan cassettes which are available.
