Adhan and iqamah for one who is praying alone
16,299The adhaan should be given in every mosque in which prayer is established
7,651Prayer Is Better than Sleep: First or Second Adhan?
The Sunnah is to say these words “as-salatu khayrun min al-nawm (prayer is better than sleep)” in the second adhan after dawn has broken. For more, see the detailed answer.64,662If a man or a woman pray at home, should they say the adhan and iqamah for prayer?
13,534Is it permissible to listen to the adhaan at times other than the times of prayer?
28,776Can You Give Adhan Sitting Down?
The Sunnah is for the Mu’adhdhin to give the Adhan while standing. If he gives the Adhan whilst sitting or lying down without an excuse, his Adhan is valid but disliked.19,152Is Adhan Necessary for Prayer?
1- The correct view is that adhan is fard kifayah (a communal obligation); if someone who is competent does it, the rest are absolved of sin. 2- If a person starts to pray without the adhan or iqamah, whether out of forgetfulness or ignorance, or for some other reason, the prayer is still valid. 3- If a muadhdhin gives the adhan in one neighborhood and all the residents can hear it, that is sufficient. For more, see the detailed answer.162,709Sending blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) when the iqaamah is pronounced
12,644He forgot some of the words of the iqaamah for prayer; should he repeat the iqaamah?
16,619Is There Adhan or Iqamah for Nafl Prayers?
The adhan and iqamah are only for the obligatory prayers. But for Tarawih, Witr and other optional (nafl) prayers, there is no adhan or iqamah.24,869
