One person calls the adhan and another gives the iqamah

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, a questioner asks: Is it permissible for one person to call the adhan and another to give the iqamah?

Answer:
Yes, it is permissible for one person to call the adhan and another to give the iqamah, but it is better for the one who called the adhan to also give the iqamah, as the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said. A Companion called the adhan; they told him it was so-and-so al-Sada'i. The mu'adhdhin was Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him), but he did not attend, so al-Sada'i called the adhan. Then Bilal came and accepted al-Sada'i's adhan. When it was time for the iqamah, Bilal wanted to give it, but the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: . Yes.
