Prayer: Adhan and Iqamah for Daily Obligatory Prayers
Practical Laws of Islam as per the teachings of Ayatullah Sistani
Ruling 902
It is recommended for both men and women to say adhān and then iqāmah before the daily obligatory prayers; however, they have not been sanctioned in Islamic law (they are not mashrūʿ) for other obligatory prayers or for recommended prayers. If Eid al-Fiṭr[1] and Eid al-Aḍḥā[2] prayers are performed in congregation, it is recommended to say ‘aṣṣalāh’ three times before commencing them.
