Question
How much delay should there be after the Maghrib Athaan and the Iqaamah?
Answer
After the Maghrib Athaan it is Sunnah for there to be an interval of the duration of three short aayats before beginning the Iqaamah. By the time the Muath-thin reaches the musalla in front from the Minaret where he gave the Athaan, it will be time for Iqaamah.
