In Islam, there are two prayers (Salat) that are performed without Azan:

Salat al-Janazah (Funeral Prayer) – This prayer is offered for a deceased Muslim. It has no Azan or Iqamah. Instead, it is performed with specific Takbirs, supplications for forgiveness, and prayers for mercy upon the deceased. The funeral prayer is considered a collective duty (Fard Kifayah) upon the Muslim community.

Eid Prayers (Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha) – The two Eid prayers are also performed without Azan and without Iqamah. Instead, the prayer begins with extra Takbirs, followed by the sermon (Khutbah) delivered by the Imam. The absence of Azan emphasizes the special nature of these prayers compared to the five daily obligatory prayers.

The wisdom behind not having Azan for these prayers is that they are not part of the daily obligatory schedule but are occasional prayers with unique rulings and conditions.
