Prayer Before the Iqamah

Question
Is it permissible to pray before the iqamah?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: The prayer is valid before and after the call to prayer for both men and women, except for those in the mosque, who should not perform the obligatory prayer before the call to prayer unless there is a necessity. And God knows best.
