If we are praying Salah alone, is it obligatory to do adhan?

If we are praying salah alone is it obligatory to do adhan?

Answer

(Fatwa: 1009/948=B/1430)

If the azan of locality mosque was called already, calling azan for one performing salah individually is mustahab (desirable), not necessary. But, if anyone performs salah at a place where azan was not called, he should call the azan and then perform salah:

قال التمرتاشي: وھو سنۃ ۔۔۔ للفرائض الخمس، وقال ابن عابدین الشامي ۔۔۔ وتشمل حالۃ السفر والحضر والانفراد والجماعۃ، قال في مواھب الرحمن ونور الإیضاح: ولو منفرداً أداءً أو قضاءً سفراً أو حضراً لکن لا یکرہ ترکہ لمصل في بیتہ في المصر إذ أذان الحي یکفینا (الشامي 2:49(
