Question ID 632 - Salat - 2013-07-29 15:45:01 |
Salam. If praying individually, is it obligatory to call for iqamah before performing all obligatory salah or can I perform salah directly without an iqamah? How about for non-obligatory salah? Sukran... |

Answer:- For every daily obligatory Prayer, it is recommended to read Athan then
Iqamah even if you are alone and pray individually. The Hadeeth says that
two rows of angles will pray then behind you if you read Athan and Iqamah.
If you read Iqamah only, one row of angles will pray behind you. If you
pray your Prayer with out even Iqamah, you will pray alone. Iqamah is
highly recommended for every obligatory daily Prayer especially for Salat
al-Fajr and Salat al-Maghrib, but if you leave it, your Prayer will remain
valid.
Beside the obligatory daily Prayers, there is no Athan nor Iqamah for any
other Prayer including all recommended Prayers.
Wassalam.
Mohammad al-Musawi
