Question:
What is the ruling on praying without the iqamah?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with it, but it is better to have the iqamah. The iqamah is a recommended practice (sunnah) for the congregation, whereas its presence is a collective obligation (fard kifayah). It must be established in the town. Once the prayer is established in the town, the obligation is lifted, and it remains a recommended practice for the rest, just like other collective obligations. Yes.
