Raising the Voice in the Iqamah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, what is the ruling on raising the voice in the iqamah so that people can hear it and be informed? It is said that this is a matter in which the Sunnah is followed.
Answer:
Yes, there is nothing preventing raising the voice, because when people hear the iqamah, they come. Bilal used to call the iqamah outside the mosque during the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He would call it from a high place so that people could hear the iqamah. So there is no harm in raising the voice in the iqamah, but it is not raised as loudly as the adhan; it is raised relatively. It is raised relatively. And it is better than all the disliked things that have tired people out; the sound has become so loud that it is annoying. Yes. Honorable Shaykh. The bottom line is that there is nothing wrong with raising the voice in the iqamah so that people can hear that the prayer has begun, and they will attend and take an interest. Just as Bilal used to call the iqamah outside the mosque and from a high place so that people could hear this and attend the prayer.
