The ruling on the adhan and iqamah for one who prays alone in his home

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
His second question says: I sometimes pray the obligatory prayers alone, often, because there is no mosque near me. But is the adhan and iqamah obligatory for me for every prayer, or is it permissible for me to pray without the adhan or without the iqamah?

Answer:
The Sunnah is that you call the adhan and the iqamah; this is the Sunnah. As for its being obligatory, there is disagreement among the scholars. However, what is better for you and more cautious for you is to call the adhan and the iqamah, due to the generality of the evidence. But you must pray in congregation whenever possible, if you find a congregation, or if you hear the call from a mosque near you, it is obligatory for you to respond to the mu'adhdhin and to attend with the congregation. If you do not hear the call and there is no mosque near you, then the Sunnah is for you to call the adhan and the iqamah. Yes.
