Asalaamu alaikum...
Ok I'm a little confused. I've listened to several lectures, read books, and even listened (gasp!) to my Shaykh. All of whom said there is no basis for making dua in the space after the Iqama and before the takbirat al ihram (if I have that name right, the takbir that starts the prayer). Making dua after the adhan, yes. But after the iqama we are to say nothing.
Yet so many of the brothers in my masjid make dua during this time, some even standing for several moments after the imam has started the prayer, whispering loudly with their hands raised, before they takbir and join us.
Who is right?
