its place, so that it is more effective in notification. This is indicated by the hadith of Abdullah ibn Umar, who said (21): "We would perform ablution when we heard the Iqamah, then go out to the prayer" (22). Unless he is performing the Adhan in the minaret or a place far from the mosque, in which case he should perform the Iqamah in a place other than his [initial] place, so that he does not miss any of the prayer.

Section: He should not perform the Iqamah until the Imam permits him, for Bilal would seek permission from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). In the hadith of Ziyad ibn al-Harith al-Suda'i, he said: "I began to say to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him): 'Shall I perform the Iqamah? Shall I perform the Iqamah?'" (23). Abu Hafs (24) narrated with his chain of authority from Ali, who said: "The Mu'adhdhin has more authority over the Adhan, and the Imam has more authority over the Iqamah" (25).

It is disliked to abandon the Adhan for the five daily prayers, because the prayer of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was always with an Adhan and an Iqamah, as were the Imams after him, and he commanded it.
