Question:
He says: If the prayer is called for and I am praying the greeting of the mosque in the first rak'ah, do I break it off?
Answer:
There is a distinction here. Some scholars hold that it is obligatory for him to break off the voluntary prayer if the prayer is called for while he is in a voluntary prayer, based on the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)Jami` at-Tirmidhi 421Sahih (Darussalam) Therefore, it is obligatory for him to break it off.
The second group of scholars says he should complete the prayer; if the call is made while he is in it, he completes it briefly.
As for the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)Jami` at-Tirmidhi 421Sahih (Darussalam) its meaning is that it is not prescribed to begin a prayer after the iqamah, specifically a voluntary prayer. Yes.
After the iqamah has begun, as for the one for whom the call is made while he is in a voluntary prayer, he completes it briefly. In any case, the most likely view in this matter is that if he is in the last part of the voluntary prayer, he completes it, but if he is in the first part and a long time would be lost by continuing in it, he breaks it off.

When the Iqamah has been called for the Salat then there is no Salat except the obligatory.
