F66Chapter on the Adhān and the Iqāmah

The Wording of the Iqāmah and the Ruling on Saying Its Phrases Once

What is the wording of the iqāmah in the four schools, and are its phrases said once or twice?

Hanafi

The iqāmah is said twice over, like the adhān, with “qad qāmat al-ṣalāh” added twice, making seventeen phrases; saying its phrases once is disliked.

Maliki

All the phrases of the iqāmah are said once, making ten phrases, including “qad qāmat al-ṣalāh” once; only the takbīr at its beginning and end is said twice.

Shāfiʿī

The phrases of the iqāmah are said once, making eleven phrases, except the takbīr at its beginning and end and “qad qāmat al-ṣalāh”, which are said twice.

Hanbali

The phrases of the iqāmah are said once, making eleven phrases, except the takbīr at its beginning and end and “qad qāmat al-ṣalāh”, which are said twice, based on the hadith of Anas: “Bilāl was ordered to make the adhān in pairs and the iqāmah singly.”
