Is it obligatory for the one who calls the adhan to give the iqamah? And what is the authenticity of the hadith regarding this?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : ... Many people mistakenly believe that it is not permissible for anyone other than the mu'adhdhin to give the iqamah, and they base this claim on a hadith circulated in some books of Islamic jurisprudence with the wording: . The reminder is that this hadith is weak and not authentic; therefore, there is no legal impediment to the one who gives the iqamah being other than the mu'adhdhin, and the mu'adhdhin being other than the one who gives the iqamah. However, if the mu'adhdhin is a regular mu'adhdhin, he is like the regular imam; it is not befitting for anyone else to take precedence over him without his permission. This is considered as the first issue. The first issue in a gathering like this, for example, is that there is no regular imam and no regular mu'adhdhin; so if a mu'adhdhin calls the adhan, it is permissible for someone else to give the iqamah. But in mosques that have imams and mu'adhdhins specifically assigned to perform this duty, it is not permissible to take precedence over them without their permission. This is not based on the statement in the aforementioned hadith: ; for this is a weak hadith that cannot be used as evidence. Rather, it is to avert a harm that may result from non-mu'adhdhins rushing to the mu'adhdhin because of his giving the iqamah in place of what? The mu'adhdhin. To avert the harm, it may be said in that mosque: only the one who called the adhan gives the iqamah. But this is not a rule, rather ...
Let the one who calls the adhan give the iqamah
من أذَّن فليُقِمْLet the one who calls the adhan give the iqamah
من أذَّن فليقم
