Turning The Head In Iqaamah

· 5 Rajab 1444 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

Should a person turn he’s head in the iqaamah while saying حي على الصلاة and حي على الفلاح?

Answer

Yes, a person should turn his head in the Iqaamah while saying الصالةَعلىَحي and الفالحَعلىَحي due to Azhaan being similar to Iqaamah. As one does this in Azhaan, so one should also do so in Iqaamah.
