Question:
His first question says that in one of the countries, he entered the consulate and found them praying in their prayer area. One of them started the prayer without the iqamah, so I did not pray with them, but I prayed alone. What is the ruling on my prayer?
Answer:
The iqamah is not obligatory; the iqamah is recommended. So you made a mistake by praying alone and leaving the prayer in congregation. Yes.
