Question:
Your Eminence the Shaykh, who has the right to give the iqamah, Your Eminence the Shaykh, the imam or the mu'adhdhin?
Answer:
The imam is the one who has the right to give the iqamah; the mu'adhdhin does not give the iqamah until the imam orders him to, or until it becomes a custom between them that when he goes out and sees him coming, he gives the iqamah, just as Bilal used to give the iqamah when he saw the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) coming. If it is a custom between them that when he goes out and heads toward the place of prayer, he gives the iqamah, that is permissible. Yes.
