When is the iqamah for prayer after the adhan?
There is no specific fixed time for establishing the prayer, but the following should be observed:
1. Expediting the prayer at the beginning of its time for an individual or a woman in her home, except for the 'Isha and Dhuhr prayers when the heat is intense, in which case it is to cool down before them, and the supererogatory (ratibah) prayers before the obligatory ones.
2. For the congregants of the mosque, there should be sufficient time between the and the for purification, going to the mosque, and performing the ratibah prayer. There is no confirmed specific estimation for this time; rather, it depends on the gathering of the worshippers.
3. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, used to hasten all prayers except for 'Isha, which he would sometimes delay to await the gathering of people.
4. If the mosque community or those in charge agree upon a specific time for the iqamah, there is no harm in adhering to it to prevent disagreement.
