The questioner : In his question, he says: If the imam is in the loud prayer, some of the worshippers say, when the imam says , they say "I sought help from Allah", and when the iqamah is called, they say "May Allah establish it and make it lasting"?

The Shaykh : Yes. As for the first, which is the ma'mum saying, when the imam reads , this has no basis and there is no need to say it, because the imam will finish reading Surat al-Fatihah and the ma'mum will say "Ameen" to his supplication, so there is no need for the one saying it to say "We sought help from Allah".
As for the second, which is saying when the iqamah is called, "May Allah establish it and make it lasting," a hadith has been narrated about this from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Some scholars of knowledge deemed it weak, while others deemed it good. If a person says it, there is no blame on him, and if he leaves it, there is no blame on him. Yes.

The questioner : May Allah reward you, O honorable Shaykh, and may Allah bless you and your knowledge for what you have clarified for us and for the honorable listening brothers.
Our honorable brothers, this episode has ended.
