Calling out the Adhaan when performing Salaah at home

· 27 Shawwal 1443 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

If a person is performing Salaah at home, then should the Adhaan and Iqaamah be called out, or only the Iqaamah?

Answer

It is best for a person to call out the Adhaan coupled with the Iqaamah. However, if he only calls out the Iqaamah, then too it is sufficient.
