The Ruling on the Adhan and Iqamah in a Prayer Area Inside a Commercial Complex

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you and bless you. This questioner, named Rami from Jeddah, says: We are a group of about twenty people who pray in a prayer area inside a commercial complex. Is it obligatory for us to perform the adhan and iqamah at prayer times, or is it sufficient to rely on the adhan we hear from the mosque, or are we required to perform the adhan and iqamah in our prayer area?

Answer:
If the mosque is close to you and your work does not require you to stay, then you should pray with the congregation in the mosque and then return to your work. However, if you cannot pray in the mosque because your work would be lost or because there is a fear of theft, then you pray in your location as a congregation, and the adhan of the mosque is sufficient, but you must perform the iqamah for the prayer. Yes. May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh, and may Allah bless you and your knowledge, and make Islam benefit from you.
