AL-KAFI #1662 : BERKATA-KATA SELEPAS IQAMAH DIKUMANDANGKAN DAN SEBELUM MENGANGKAT TAKBIRATUL IHRAM
Is it permissible to speak after the iqamah has been called but before the opening takbir of prayer?
Short answer
Speaking after the iqamah and before the opening takbir (takbiratul ihram) is permissible, even if a person is already standing in the row, and the iqamah need not be repeated.

Summary
Speaking after the iqamah and before the opening takbir (takbiratul ihram) is permissible, even if a person is already standing in the row, and the iqamah need not be repeated. This is the view of the Shafii school and the majority of scholars, while Abu Hanifah and the Kufan scholars considered it disliked. It is nevertheless better to refrain without a need, so as not to disturb those preparing for prayer.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
diharuskan bercakap-cakap selepas iqamah dikumandangkan sekalipun telah berdiri dan berada di dalam saf bagi memulakan solat selagimana masih belum lagi mengangkat takbiratul ihram.
