Laws of Iqaamah

Q: Is it permissible for a Shaafi to perform Iqamah according to the Hanafi madhab due to the majority of musallees and the imam being Hanafi?

Q: What is the ruling of iqaamah whilst reading alone according to the Hanafi mazhab... Is it sunnah or wajib?

Q: When performing qadha salaat (qadha umri) at home, do I need to recite Iqamat?

The qadha salaah that I was offering was not missed by me in the first instance. I had offered them but later it transpired that those salaat were not valid. For such salaah, should I recite iqamat when performing it at home?

Q: Is it permissible that Azaan be given by one person and iqaamah by another person?

Q: Is it permissible for a person who gave the iqaamah to lead the congregation as an Imam?

Q: Whose duty/responsibility is it to give the iqaamah?

Q: On which side of the Imaam should the Mu'azzin call out the Iqaamah? Should he stand on the right side or on the left side of the Imaam?

Q:

1. When should the muazzin start the iqaamah? When the Imaam is on the musallah? When the Imaam is visible?

2. At what stage should the muqtadis stand up?

Q: When iqaamat is being given then we find that the muazzin sometime joins the words, eg hayya alasalah hayya alasalah, but should it be pronounced hayya alasalati hayya alasalah? Or are both fine (when combining). Similarly with hayya alalfalaah and qadqaamatissalaah?

Q: What are the words for the iqamah? I have heard some people say that everything must be repeated twice and some say that most of the words are repeated once and only the ending is repeated twice.
