Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: If the iqamah (the second call, immediately before prayer) is made and I know that I am the most qualified among those present in fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence), is it permissible for me to step forward, or must they be the ones to put me forward?
Answer:
If they say, “Who will pray?” and seek someone to lead, and you feel that you are qualified, then step forward. Yes.
