Question:
What is the authenticity of the hadith: "Whoever calls the adhan, let him appoint an old man for the iqamah"?
Answer:
It has become weak. The hadith "One who performs wudu' does not call the adhan" is also weak. It is permissible for one person to perform the adhan and another person to perform the iqamah, but it is better for one person to perform both, as Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) used to perform both.
