If a woman is praying at home, is it sufficient for her to recite the iqamah only? If a man is too late to pray in the mosque and he prays at home — whether at the proper time or otherwise — is it sufficient for him to recite the iqamah or does he have to say the adhan and iqamah?.
Praise be to Allah.
In the case of a man, the iqamah is sufficient because he has heard the call to prayer and the Muslims have done it, so iqamah is sufficient for him. In the case of a woman, she does not have to say the iqamah or the adhan. She should pray without either iqamah or adhan. End quote.
