The Adhan for the One Praying Alone at the University
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
A student sent abroad for studies says that prayer time catches him while he is at the university, so he prays with the iqamah but without the adhan. One of them told him that the adhan is necessary. Is his statement correct?
The Shaykh:
The university is in the United States.
The questioner:
Sent abroad.
The Shaykh:
Hmm? The adhan is not obligatory for the one praying alone. He makes the iqamah and prays, and praise be to Allah.
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.
The Shaykh:
The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "If you are two,Sahih al-Bukhari 628" As for the one praying alone, this is not obligatory for him. It is recommended for him to call the adhan, but it is not obligatory; it is not required of him.
