Request to Use Your Adhan Audio in a Non-Commercial Islamic App

shabbir

Assalamu Walikum, I am building a free Islamic app called Salah. May I bundle the Adhan audio files from your CDN (aladhan.com/download-adhans) within my app? The app is free for users, supported only by voluntary donations. Please let me know if this is permitted and under what conditions.

shabbir 3laykum salaam. It is permitted and there are no conditions per se.
Just be mindful of the rate limit specified in the FAQ section.

meezaan Thanks a lot. Could you please point me to the exact FAQ section for the rate limit?

Thank you for the response, but I think there was a misunderstanding. My question is not about API rate limits.
I would like to know specifically about the Adhan audio files (the MP3 recordings available at aladhan.com/download-adhans). Am I permitted to:
1. Download these MP3 files
2. Bundle them inside my mobile app (so users don’t need internet to play them)
3. Distribute the app on Google Play and Apple App Store
The app (called Salah) will be free for users, with optional voluntary donations. No ads, no paid features.
Could you please confirm whether bundling these audio files in my app is permitted, and if any attribution or credit is required? A simple yes/no would be very helpful.
JazakAllahu khairan.

shabbir There's no misunderstanding. The article also specifies the rate limits for the CDN (it needs to be renamed accordingly, though).

I already said the 'yes' above, but the comment about rate limiting stands.

If, as you say, you will bundle them inside the app, then there is no problem at all as the rate limiting is irrelevant.

meezaan Thanks a lot! It is clear now. I really appreciate it!
