Azaan

AZAAN is SUNNAT only for the five FARZ SALAAH and for JUMUAH SALAAH.
AZAAN is not required for any other Salaah.
AZAAN means to inform, but in Shariat AZAAN means to inform of a particular Salaah in
particular wordings.
The AZAAN for every Farz Salaah should be called out in its prescribed time.
If it was called before the time then it must be called again at the right time.
HOW TO CALL OUT AZAAN
When the time for Salaah comes the MOAZZIN stands up and calls out aloud these words.

THERE ARE SEVEN MUSTAHABS IN AZAAN

1. To stand facing the QIBLAH
2. Not to make haste in saying Azaan
3. To put both index fingers in the ears
4. To call Azan from a high place.
5. To say Azan in a loud voice.
6.To turn the face right when saying,
Hayya Al-al Salaah
and to the left when saying,
Hayya Al-al Falaah

7. To say 'Assalaatoo-khairoom-minannaiom' twice after 'Hayya alal falah' in the Azan of Fajr Salaah.
Saying AZAAN without Wudhu is permissible but it is bad to make a habit of it.
AZAAN is SUNNAT, but as it reveals a special glory of Islam, much stress is laid on it.

IQAAMAT

Q. What is IQAAMAT?
A. IQAAMAT is to repeat the wordings of AZAAN at the beginning of FARZ Salaah.

e.g After Hayya Al-al Falaah you say
Qad Qaamatisalaah
TWICE

AZAAN and IQAAMAT are SUNNAT for MEN only
Iqaama is SUNNAT for FARZ Salaah only. It is not Sunnah for any other Salaah.
Q. If anyone performs his Farz Salaat at home, should he say Azan and Iqaama?
A. Azan and Iqaama in the neighboring Masjid will be sufficient, but it is better to say them at home also.
Q. Should a traveler say Azan and Iqaama during a journey?
A. Yes, both Azan and Iqaama should be said when one is at a lonely place. It won't matter if one says only Iqaama
and not Azan, However, it is Makrooh to leave the both.
Q. Is it permissible if one person says the Azan and another says the Iqaama?
A. If one who said the Azan is not present or if he is there but does not mind, then another person may say Iqaama.
If the person who said Azan minds, then it is Makrooh for another person to say the Iqaama.
Q. How much time should be allowed to pass between Azan and Iqaama?
A. In all Salaat except Maghreb, one should wait for the Iqaama till the persons who are eating or
are in the toilet can join the Salaah. In Maghreb Salaat it is advisable that after the Azan,
Iqaama should be said after the lapse of the time equal to the reciting of THREE AAYATS.
IJAABAT
Repeating the words of Azan and Iqaama is called IJAABAT.
Q. What is IJAABAT for Azan and Iqaama and what is the order for that?

A. Ijaubat for both and Iqaama is MUSTAHAB. Ijaabat means that those hearing should repeat the wordings as the
Muazzin or Mukabbir says.

HOWEVER, AFTER HEARING

Hayya Al-al Salaah twice
one should say
Laa haw la wa laa Qawata illa billah hil aliyil azeem
There is no Power and might except from Allah.
The most high - The great.

In Fajr Azan after hearing
Asalaatul khayruminanaum
one should say
sadaqta wa barata

In Takbeer, after hearing one
Qadqaamatisalaah
one should say
Aqaamahallahu wadaa mahaa
