The Ruling on the Adhan and Iqamah for the One Praying Alone

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner asks: What is the ruling on the adhan and iqamah for the one who prays alone?

Answer:
It is a recommended practice (sunnah) for the one praying alone, if he is in the open countryside, if he is in the open countryside or does not hear the adhan, that he should call the adhan and iqamah, even if he prays alone, to keep this religious practice alive. As for if he is in the town, he should pray with the congregation in the mosque. If he has an excuse that caused him to miss the congregational prayer, the iqamah is sufficient, and as for the adhan, the adhan of the town is sufficient. Yes.
