Question:
The interval between the iqamah and the prayer (does it have a limit)?
Answer:
There is no fixed limit. The thing that does not harm people is that one does not hasten until the people have gathered. However, in the case of the midday prayer during intense heat, it is better to delay. And for the night prayer, if they have not gathered, it is better to delay. For the rest, one should consider the appropriate time, such as a quarter of an hour, ten minutes, or a third of an hour, until the people have gathered. There is no fixed limit; one should be gentle with them.
