Question:
While waiting for the iqamah of the prayer, is it better to recite the Qur'an, or to increase in supplication, that is, between the adhan and the iqamah?
Answer:
Both are prescribed: supplication and reciting the Qur'an. However, there is no doubt that reciting the Qur'an is better than all other dhikr, except in the occasions that have a specific dhikr assigned to them, and the times that have a specific dhikr restricted to them. In such cases, performing the specific dhikr is better than reciting the Qur'an, because reciting the Qur'an has another time for it. As for this specific dhikr for this time, it is missed if not done, and the lesser of two good things may be better in some cases, such as this occasion. May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good
