Is it permissible to establish the prayer (i.e., pray) in one place, and pray in another?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If the question is about a person who calls the Iqama for prayer in one place and then moves to another place and prays there, this is permissible. Some scholars stipulate that there should be continuity between the Iqama and the prayer, such that the interval is not considered long by custom; otherwise, the Iqama must be repeated. However, the Hanbalis do not stipulate this.
