Remaining Sunnahs and etiquettes of Azaan

*   If somebody is out of the city or in a village, orchard or farm, the Azaan of the city/village will be sufficient for him, provided that these places are near the city/village; but it is still better to call out the Azaan. However, if these places are not near, then that Azaan will not be sufficient. Here, nearness means that the voice of Azaan (given in the city/village) could reach there. (Fatawa Hindiyyah, vol. 1, p. 56)

*   If a traveller did not call out both, the Azaan and the Iqamah or just the Iqamah, it is Makruh; if he calls out only the Iqamah, there is no dislike, but it is better to also say the Azaan, whether he is alone or with other companions. (Bahar-e-Shari’at, vol. 1, p. 471; Durr-e-Mukhtar ma’ Rad-ul-Muhtar, vol. 2, p. 78)

*   It is Makruh for women to say Azaan and Iqamah whether they are offering Salah (within its time) or Qada (after the elapsing of its stipulated time). (Durr-e-Mukhtar, vol. 2, p. 72)

*   A discerning child can also call out Azaan. (Durr-e-Mukhtar, vol. 2, p. 75)

*   Though calling out Azaan without Wudu is valid, but it is Makruh to do so. (Bahar-e-Shari’at, vol. 1, p. 466; Maraqi-ul-Falah, p. 46)

*   It is Mustahab to say حَیَّ عَلَی الْفَلَاح after اَلصَّلٰوۃُ خَیْرٌ مِّنَ النَّوْم in the Fajr Azaan. (Durr-e-Mukhtar, vol. 2, p. 67) If it is not called out, Azaan will still be valid. (Qanoon-e-Shari’at, p. 89)

*   If anybody hears the Azaan while walking, it is better for him to stop walking, listen (in silence) to the Azaan and reply to it. (Fatawa
