Summary
Apart from the five daily prayers and the Friday prayer, azan is recommended outside prayer in several situations. Azan alone is recommended during sadness, quarrels, anger, for a person or animal that is out of control, during a fire and when someone is possessed by jinn. Azan and iqamat are recommended in the ear of a newborn, when sending off a traveller and when lowering a body into the grave. For congregational voluntary prayers such as the Eid and eclipse prayers, only a call is recommended, not azan and iqamat.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Selain itu, disunatkan juga azan dan iqamat juga pada beberapa ketika dan keadaan diluar solat.
