Performing the Maghrib prayer immediately after the adhan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner: Some imams in the Maghrib prayer, as soon as the mu'adhdhin finishes the adhan, order him to give the iqamah?
Answer:
It is not preferred, and one should not hasten, until the people pray two rak'ahs. The people should be given ten minutes or so, until the people catch up. This is why the Companions used to pray two rak'ahs after the adhan. The Messenger said and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said Bulugh al-Maram 2:264, which indicates that it should be delayed somewhat so that the people can pray whatever is easy for them. If he prays two rak'ahs, that is good and sufficient. Praise be to Allah after the adhan.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence the Shaykh, and may Allah bless you and your knowledge, and may He benefit Islam and the Muslims through you.
