Question

1a. do males have to make iqaamah before performing Fardh salaat individually (on their own)
1b. Females normally performed Fardh salaah on their own - do they also have to make Iqaamah before every fardh salaat - and must it be done loud or soft.
2. is Iqaamah given for qadhaa fardh salaat as well - if i'm performing qadhaa umri and reading several fardh salaahs one after the other, do i have to make iqaamah for each qadha fardh.

Answer

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatoh

1. It is better for a person to call out the Iqaamah when performing Salaah individually. However if he does not do so and the Azaan and Iqaamah is called out in his locality, his Salaah will still be correct. (Badaai’ vol.2 pg.108)

2. Females will not call out the Iqaamah before Salaah. (Badaai’ vol.2 pg.107)

3. If a person is performing the Qadha of a single Salaah, then he must call out the Azaan and Iqaamah before commencing his Salaah. If he is performing many Qadha Salaahs, then he must call out the Azaan and Iqaamah for the first Salaah. For the subsequent Salaahs he may suffice on Iqaamah for each of them, but it is better to call out the Azaan as well for every Salaah. (Badaai’ vol.2 pg.112-114)

And Allah knows best

How do I make up missed salaah (qadha)?

“Performing Qadha salaah in one's home or in the musjid is permissible. However, after the time of fajr enters and after performing your asr salaah, if you wish to perform Qadha salaah, then perform it in your home.”

What are the rules of the azaan and iqaamah?
