1 - For qada prayers: When performing qada prayers individually or in jamaat in the country
side, in fields, it is sunnat for men to say the adhan and the iqamat aloud. People, genies, rocks
that hear the voice will bear witness on the Rising Day. He who performs a couple of qada
prayers one after another should say the adhan and the iqamat first. Then, before performing
each of the following qada prayers he should say the iqamat. It will be all right if he does not say
the adhan for the following prayers of qada.
Women do not say the adhan or the iqamat when they perform the namaz individually whether
they perform it in its time or they make qada of it.
He who makes qada in a mosque says the adhan and the iqamat only as loudly as he himself can
hear. If a couple of people make qada of namaz in jamaat in a mosque, they do not say the adhan
or the iqamat. If all the people in a mosque are going to make qada of a namaz in jamaat, the
adhan and the iqamat are said. But it is makruh to perform namaz of qada in jamaat in a mosque.
For, it being a grave sin to leave namaz to qada (to postpone it till after its prescribed time is
over), it is not permissible to announce it publicly. Performing a prayer of qada in jamaat
requires that the imam and the jamaat must be performing the same prayer of the same one day.
For example, a person who is going to make qada of a Sunday's early afternoon prayer cannot
follow and be jamaat for a person who will make qada of Tuesday's early after noon prayer or
who performs early afternoon prayer of the present day which is Sunday, too.
He who makes qada in his home says the adhan and the iqamat only as loudly as to be heard in
the room, so that the number of witnesses be more. [So does a person who performs qada of a
fard prayer instead of a sunnat prayer.]
2 - He who performs the time's namaz individually at home or in jamaat does not have to say the
adhan or the iqamat. For the adhan and the iqamat said in mosques are counted as being said in
homes, too. But it is better to say them. It is not necessary to hear the muazzin's voice. If the
adhan is not said in mosques, or if it is not sahih because they have not fulfilled its conditions,
the person who performs namaz individually in his home says the adhan and the iqamat.
After the time's namaz is performed in a local mosque or in a mosque whose jamaat are certain
people, a person who performs it individually does not say the adhan or the iqamat. After each of
daily prayers is performed in jamaat with the imam on the mihrab in such mosques, other
jamaats can be made again. While telling about being an imam on the three hundred and seventyfirst
page, it says that if the imams for the following jamaats stand on the mihrab, too, the adhan
and the iqamat are not said. If the imams do not stand on the mihrab the adhan and the iqamat
must be said as loudly as to be heard by the jamaats.
In mosques on roads or in those which have no imams or muazzins or certain jamaats, various
people who come in at various different times make various jamaats for the namaz of the same
prayer time. They say the adhan and the iqamat for each jamaat. Also, he who performs namaz
individually in such a mosque says the adhan and the iqamat as loudly as he himself hears.
3 - Travelers, when they make jamaat or when each performs namaz individually, say the adhan
and the iqamat. If the person who is performing namaz individually has friends with him who are
performing namaz, too, he may not say the adhan. A safari (traveler) person says the adhan and
the iqamat when he performs namaz individually in a house, too. For the adhan said in the
mosque does not include his namaz. If some of the safari people say the adhan in a house, those
who perform the (same) namaz later on at the same place, do not say it. At least three people
ought to set out for a travel, and one of them must be their amir (commander).
The adhan said by an 'aqil (mature in wisdom) boy, a blind man, a bastard, or an ignorant
villager who knows prayer times and how to say the adhan, is permissible without any karahat. It
