Scholars have differed regarding the ruling on the (call to prayer), oscillating between it being (recommended) and (obligatory). However, according to both opinions, the prayer of an individual (fadh) and a congregation (jama'ah) is valid without the Adhan. Ibn Qudamah said: "And if a worshiper prays without Adhan or (second call to prayer), the prayer is valid according to both opinions."
