A group prayed without the iqamah for the prayer, so what is the ruling?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Or a group, a group that prayed without the iqamah for the prayer.
The Shaykh : They owe nothing.
The questioner : Is their prayer accepted? No. Huh?
The Shaykh : No, the iqamah is a recommended practice (sunnah). The iqamah is a recommended practice (sunnah) for the congregation. The congregation.
The questioner : But you have to pray.
The Shaykh : Now we need to see, is this a recommended practice (sunnah) or obligatory? The congregation in a settled location.
The questioner : Yes, it is obligatory.
The Shaykh : Obligatory? Well, they prayed without the iqamah?
The questioner : Perhaps intentionally, intentionally, yes, go ahead.
The Shaykh : It is connected to their prayer.
The questioner : We say that the iqamah is obligatory and connected.
The Shaykh : Yes, we say it is obligatory.
The questioner : How is it described?
The Shaykh : Is it connected to their prayer? Yes, indeed. Huh?
The presenter : Thank you.
The Shaykh : Well, let us see.
The questioner : No, it is not abandoning the prayer, because the iqamah is obligatory for every prayer, not in the prayer, and the prostration for forgetfulness (sujud al-sahw) was brought to compensate for what happens in the prayer, and this is an error in the prayer,
The Shaykh : What do you want, people? Correct, yes, if they left the iqamah intentionally while it is obligatory, their prayer is not invalidated, because it is obligatory for the prayer, not obligatory in the prayer. For this reason, we say if they left the congregational prayer and prayed individually while they were able to pray in congregation, their prayer is not invalidated. Because the congregation is obligatory for the prayer, not in the prayer. Is that clear, people? So we distinguish between what is obligatory for a thing and what is obligatory in a thing. What is obligatory for a thing, if a person leaves it, it affects him, but this ruling does not extend to invalidating the thing. And what is obligatory in a thing, if he intentionally leaves it, it is invalidated.
The Shaykh : They owe nothing.
The questioner : Is their prayer accepted? No. Huh?
The Shaykh : No, the iqamah is a recommended practice (sunnah). The iqamah is a recommended practice (sunnah) for the congregation. The congregation.
