The Single Worshipper is not Required to Call the Iqamah

Question :

Is it sufficient to make the Iqamah without the Athan, when the time for prayer comes - I mean, if I wish to pray (alone)?

Question :

The Athan is prescribed in order to announce to the people of the town that the time for prayer has begun, but if they are already gathered, and there is none other than them, then they are not required to call the Athan. But it is preferred for the traveller to call the Athan, so that whatever hears his voice may testify for him, be it a tree or a rock.

The Iqamah is prescribed in order to announce to those gathered that the prayer is about to begin, so if there is only one worshipper, it is not obligatory for him to announce the Iqamah.
