Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Is it required for one who prays alone to perform the adhan and iqamah?
Answer:
If he is in a town, the adhan and iqamah of the town are sufficient; he performs the iqamah alone, whether praying alone or in congregation. As for the adhan, the adhan of the town is sufficient. However, if he is in the desert, he calls the adhan and performs the iqamah, as mentioned in the hadith that Allah is pleased with a shepherd on the top of a mountain who calls the adhan and performs the iqamah. Yes.
