The questioner : What is the ruling on the prescription of the adhan and iqamah for the one who prays alone?
The Shaykh : The adhan and iqamah for the one who prays alone are a recommended practice (sunnah) and not obligatory, as the scholars have said, because he has no one to call him to the adhan.
However, given that the adhan is a remembrance of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), an exaltation, and a call to Himself to prayer and to success, and likewise the iqamah, the scholars (may Allah have mercy on them) preferred performing it over leaving it. I believe there is a marfu' hadith from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding this, but it does not come to my mind at the moment.
