The time for the adhan has entered; should one sit or wait and then pray?

Question:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good. From the Raymah Governorate in Yemen, the listener Hasan Muhammad Qarghur asks and says: If I enter the mosque and the mu'adhdhin has started the adhan, is it permissible for me to sit until he finishes the adhan and then stand up and pray the greeting of the mosque? Or is it not permissible, and I should remain standing until he finishes the adhan and then pray the greeting of the mosque?

Answer:
It is better that you remain standing and follow the mu'adhdhin, saying what he says. When the mu'adhdhin finishes and you recite the supplication prescribed after the adhan, you should pray the greeting of the mosque in order to combine the two virtues: following the mu'adhdhin and performing the greeting of the mosque. If you begin the greeting of the mosque as soon as you arrive and leave off following the mu'adhdhin, that is permissible. As for sitting, you should not sit until you have prayed two rak'ahs, based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) Yes.
