Raising the Voice in the Iqamah

The questioner:
The point is that the one who raises his voice for the iqamah should be made aware of it, so that he understands it and it is conveyed to him. This is a matter close to the Sunnah.

The Shaykh:
Yes, nothing prevents 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 objection to raising the voice for the iqamah, but not as loudly as the adhan. It is raised relatively. It is raised relatively. And now, with the word "ruhwaniyat," the people’s voices have become loud. Yes.

The questioner:
The Shaykh's children.

The Shaykh:
The bottom line is that there is nothing wrong with raising the voice for the iqamah so that people can hear that the prayer has begun, and so they 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. Yes.
