Question:
If I enter the mosque while the mu'adhdhin is calling to prayer, should I sit down until the mu'adhdhin is done, or should I remain standing until he finishes?
Answer:
The best course is that you wait and respond to the mu'adhdhin by saying what he says, then you make du'a' with the prescribed supplication. After that, you pray the greeting of the mosque (tahiyyat al-masjid) so that you combine the two virtues: the virtue of following the mu'adhdhin and making du'a' after him, and the virtue of performing the greeting of the mosque. Yes, and the matter is broad, and praise be to Allah.
