Is there an adhan and iqamah for voluntary prayers?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: If I want to pray the witr prayer or the duha prayer, do I call the adhan and iqamah, or do I suffice with just the iqamah, or do I just pray?
Answer:
The witr prayer and the duha prayer are voluntary, and voluntary prayers do not have an adhan or iqamah called for them. This applies to the obligatory prayers; the adhan and iqamah are specific to the obligatory prayers. As for voluntary prayers, no adhan is called for them, and no iqamah is established for them, except for what has been reported regarding the eclipse prayer, where it is announced: "The prayer has gathered." As for anything else, no announcement is made for it.
