It is recommended that the adhan be delivered with a pleasant voice. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Abdullah ibn Zayd when he saw the adhan in a dream: This indicates that a beautiful voice is sought in the adhan. However, it must not involve excessive melodic ornamentation or dragging out of the notes like in songs; this is not permissible. Yes.
