Does the iqamah take on the ruling of the adhan regarding repetition and supplication behind it?

Question : Many people say that when the mu'adhdhin says the last part of the iqamah, "La ilaha illa Allah," they say it as well, and they may repeat the supplication of the adhan after the iqamah. So, does the iqamah take on the ruling of the adhan here?

Answer : The correct view is that it does not, and that one does not follow in the iqamah, because the hadith reported regarding it is weak in terms of its narrators and continuity, so it is not acted upon. It is not said to be a bid'ah (religious innovation), nor is it forbidden, because some of the scholars approved of this and cited the hadith as evidence.
