Is a man allowed to lead a prayer at home for his daughters, wife and sons? (family) What is this called?
Do Iqamah need to be performed?

Asalaam Aleikum,

I know that it is allowed for you to lead prayer for your family, my husband does it all the time. I don't know if Iqama needs to be performed though, that's a good question.

Salam, Thanks! for answering, sister.

It is Sunnah to say the Iqamah.

If a Masjid is nearby, then it is better for the men to pray at the Masjid.

Salam alaikum.

But how to lead a prayer at home for my family? Can someone send me steps by steps?

[Umm♥Layth]

It's quite simple. You are in the front, your family is behind you. So it is you, any boys you may have then your wife and daughters. You recite outsloud for Maghrib, Isha and Fajr.

Maybe it would help if you are a bit more specific in your question. :)

I was looking for like recitation and steps of that. How does my family follow.

In your home, you are the imaam and It works the same way it does when you go to the masjid and pray behind an imaam. Your family follows the same way they do when they go to the masjid and pray behind and imaam.

Has your family been to congregational prayers at the masjid before?

Are you a revert?

It is allowed.

And iqama should be done as well
