AL-KAFI #1755: ADAKAH TEMPOH WAKTU YANG KHUSUS DI ANTARA AZAN DAN IQAMAH
Is there a specific length of time between the adhan and the iqamah, or may one stand for prayer straight away?
Short answer
It is recommended to leave an interval between the adhan and the iqamah according to need, even if only long enough to perform the Qabliyyah sunnah prayer before the obligatory prayer.

Summary
It is recommended to leave an interval between the adhan and the iqamah according to need, even if only long enough to perform the Qabliyyah sunnah prayer before the obligatory prayer. No fixed duration is stated. It is disliked (makruh) to call the iqamah immediately after the adhan without allowing some time. The interval lets the congregation prepare, for example by performing ablution.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Disunat untuk memisahkah di antara azan dan iqamah dengan tempoh waktu tertentu mengikut keperluan walaupun sekadar menunaikan solat sunat Qabliah sebelum solat fardu.
