The Imam's Supplication After the Iqamah and Praying Behind Him
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, a questioner says: There is an imam of a mosque who, when the prayer is established and the mu’adhdhin has finished the iqamah, makes a supplication saying, “O Allah, Lord of this perfect call and the established prayer,” and so on. The question is: Is this action correct? And what is the ruling on praying behind him while he does this on a regular basis?
Answer:
Yes, the adhan and the iqamah are adhan, so if he recites this dhikr after them, there is nothing wrong with it, but he should not raise his voice with it; he should say it quietly and not raise his voice with it. And there is nothing wrong with praying behind him.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
