Sunnah Method of Calling out the Iqaamah
Submitted by Mohammed Gilani on
1. Call out the iqaamah with hadr (reciting it in a swift
manner).
2. Each phrase of the words of the iqaamah will be recited in
sets of two. When reciting the set, join the two phrases of the
words of iqaamah and do not pause between the two phrases
(i.e. only pause after completing both phrases).
3. The iqaamah will be called out inside the musjid.
4. It is preferable that the iqaamah be called out by the person
who called out the azaan.
5. Turn your face to the right when saying hayya alas salaah and to the left when saying َhayya alal
falaah.
6. Once the iqaamah is being called out for salaah, do not
engage in performing the sunnah salaah. Rather,
immediately join the fardh salaah. After the fardh salaah, perform the sunnah if it was not performed before the fardh
salaah.
However, Asr Salaah and Fajr Salaah are an exception.
In the case of Asr Salaah, one will not perform the sunnats
after the fardh, as nafl salaah cannot be performed after Asr
Salaah until sunset.
In the case of Fajr Salaah, even if the
fardh has commenced, one will perform the sunnats before
joining the fardh, provided one is sure that he will be able to
join the fardh before the Imaam makes salaam.
