taleemul_haq

A. Yes, both Azan and Iqaama should be said when one is at a lonely place. It won't matter if
one says only Iqaama and not Azan; However, it is Makrooh to leave the both.
Q. Is it permissible if one person says the Azan and another says the Iqaama?
A. If one who said the Azan is not present or if he is there but does not mind, then another
person may say Iqaama. If the person who said Azan minds, then it is Makrooh for another
person to say the Iqaama.
Q. How much time should be allowed to pass between Azan and Iqaama?
A. In all Salaat except Maghreb, one should wait for the Iqaama till the persons who are
eating or are in the toilet can join the Namaaz. In Maghreb Salaat it is advisable that
after the Azan, Iqaama should be said after the lapse of the time equal to the reciting
of THREE AAYATS.
IJAABAT
Repeating the words of Azan and Iqaama is called IJAABAT.
Q. What is IJAABAT for Azan and Iqaama and what is the order for that?
A. Ijaubat for both and Iqaama is MUSTAHAB. Ijaabat means that those hearing should repeat
the wordings as the Muezzin or Mukabbir says.
HOWEVER, AFTER HEARING
AND
ONE SHOULD SAY
There is no Power and might except from Allah.
The most high - The great.
• In Fajr Azan after hearing one should say
• In Takbeer, after hearing one should say
