The ruling on performing the iqamah like the adhan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We received a letter from Riyadh from Abdulaziz Abdulrahman al-Abdullah. It is very long, so we summarized it. The gist of it says: We live in an institution, and many of the workers there are Turkish Muslims, may Allah reward them well for us. These Turks are Muslims in the truest sense; they encourage us to pray, they call the adhan and iqamah, and they lead us in prayer. However, their mu'adhdhin performs the iqamah exactly like the adhan. Is this permissible or not?
May Allah guide you.
Answer:
There is no harm in that, for the adhan came in two forms:
One form begins with four takbirs, the two testimonies twice, the testimony twice, twice, the takbir at the end twice, and the hi'lah likewise twice, each one twice. The iqamah came in a similar manner, the iqamah came in a similar manner, in the hadith of Abu Mahdhura.
And in the hadith of Anas regarding Bilal's adhan, there is the odd-numbering in the iqamah. So whoever makes the iqamah odd-numbered, that is better according to Bilal's hadith. Bilal's iqamah is: Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest, I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, Hurrah for prayer, Hurrah for success, the prayer has begun, the prayer has begun, Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest, there is no god but Allah. This is the best, as it came in Bilal's adhan and in what Abdullah ibn Zayd narrated when he was shown the adhan.
And whoever performs the iqamah in a manner resembling the adhan, there is nothing wrong with it; because this came in the hadith of Abu Mahdhura, that he taught him the iqamah just as he taught him the adhan—peace and blessings be upon him—so the matter is broad in this, from the category of variation in diversity. Yes, and the adhan also varies, for it came as mentioned before, and it came with repeating the two testimonies again, reciting them in a low voice, not loudly, not very high, then raising the voice with the two testimonies again, higher than the first recitation, and this is called tarji'. Yes.
