Reciting Adhān and Iqāmah are Mustaḥab
Issue No.841- It is mustaḥab to recite adhān and iqāmah before offering daily prayers, and it would be better not to abandon them, especially the iqāmah. However, they are not prescribed for Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha and other obligatory prayers and rather, the word “الصلاه” [1] should be recited three times with the intention of performing a desirable act for Allah (swt). It is also mustaḥab to recite the adhān [with the intention of achieving rewards and in order to seek the blessings of Allah for the child] in the right ear of a child and iqāmah in its left on the day it is born or before the umbilical cord is cut off.
