Can the Imam give the Iqamah

Question:

Mufti shb what should we do if the masturat dont knw the takbeera before namaaz?

Answer:

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

In principle, the Imam has the right of giving the Iqamah. Thereafter, the Muadhin has the right of giving the Iqamah. [1]

If one is performing Salaah at home in a congregation, the Imaam may give the Iqamah before Salaah.

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
