Is it required to say Iqaamat when offering any non-Fard salaat? Is it required for women to say Iqaamat when offering Fard Salaat individually? Can they call Iqaamat when praying behind a man?
Answer
1. Iqaamat is called only when offering Fardh Salaat. (Tahtaawi pg.105; Qadeemi)
2. It is Makrooh (disliked) for women to call out the Iqaamat when offering Fardh Salaat individually, even while offering Salaat behind a man. (Ibid)

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
