Pronouncing the Intention at the Iqamah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
But there are people, O Shaykh, who pronounce the prayer at the iqamah. They pronounce it, I swear by Allah, as if they are praying the Dhuhr or the 'Asr.
The Shaykh:
If you find that you are praying what we know to be an innovation.
The questioner:
Meaning, an innovator.
The Shaykh:
An innovation, yes. He does not say, "He must pray." He tells you, "Your heart is sufficient." He tells you, "Your heart is sufficient."
The questioner:
For example, the iqamah for the one who prays alone, after he has completed the congregational prayer and two or three people have come.
The Shaykh:
He is absent, he is absent, he is absent. Yes.
