Summary
It is permissible for the muadhdhin to go straight to the iqamah after the adhan. However, it is better for the muadhdhin to perform the recommended sunnah qabliyyah prayer himself, or to allow a short interval for it. The ruling cites the hadith of Abdullah bin Mughaffal that there is a prayer between the two calls for whoever wishes, indicating it is recommended.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Boleh, cuma yang aula ialah bilal itu sendiri yang melakukan solat sunnah qabliah yang digalakkan, atau memberikan sedikit masa itu demikian itu
