The Ruling on Praying Without the Iqamah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He also asks in the second part of this question: What about praying without the iqamah? What is the ruling on that?
Answer:
The iqamah for prayer is a recommended practice (sunnah) and not a condition for its validity. So if one prays without the iqamah, his prayer is valid. This is because when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) showed the one who was praying incorrectly how to pray, he did not order him to make the iqamah. This indicates that it is not a condition, but rather it is recommended. And Allah knows best.

May Allah bless you.
