"Is the missed prayer (Qada) performed with two Iqamas or one, and is the Sunnah prayer performed, and is the Iqama obligatory for every prayer? "

1 min readAlso available in العربية

"The Iqama is a confirmed Sunnah for every obligatory prayer, and it is not obligatory (wajib). The evidence for this is the hadith of the one who prayed incorrectly, where the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not mention the Iqama to him. The evidence for its being a Sunnah is his (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: ""Your Lord is pleased with the shepherd of sheep..."" And it is specific to the obligatory prayers and not the Sunnah prayers, as stated in Sahih Muslim. There is no difference between performing the Iqama for performing the prayer on time or making it up later.
