Ruling on giving the adhaan and iqaamah when one does not have wudoo’
Question: 20411
Is it correct to give the adhaan and iqaamah when one does not have wudoo’?
Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.
It is correct to give the
adhaan and iqaamah when one does not have wudoo’, but it is preferable for
the muezzin and the one who gives the iqaamah to have wudoo’. The prayer is
valid even if the muezzin and the one who gives the iqaamah do not have
wudoo’. But if the muezzin and the one who gives the iqaamah pray without
wudoo’, they have to repeat the prayer, just like anyone else. And Allaah is
the source of strength.
