Imam Abu Hanifa, Al-Thawri, and Ibn Al-Mubarak were of the opinion that the should be recited twice (i.e., its phrases repeated), based on the of Abu Mahdhurah. As for the majority of scholars, they hold that the Iqamah should not be recited twice. The matter is broad, falling under the category of "diversity in differences," meaning that both reciting it twice and reciting it once are permissible.
