Answered by Shaykh Faraz Rabbani
Sometimes my father says(?) the iqamaat and he also leads..I was wondering if this was permissible.
Walaikum assalam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,
I pray this finds you in the best of health and spirits.
Yes, it is permitted without dislike or impropriety for the one who gives the adhan and/or iqama to also lead prayer. (Ibn Abidin, Radd al-Muhtar; Tahtawi/Shurunbulali, Hashiyat Maraqi al-Falah)
And Allah alone gives success.
