Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if a person enters the mosque while the mu'adhdhin is calling the adhan, does he follow the adhan or does he begin with the two rak'ahs of the greeting of the mosque, whether that is on Friday or on any other day?
Answer:
On Friday, he begins with the greeting. Even if the mu'adhdhin is calling the adhan in order to free himself to listen to the khutbah. As for any day other than Friday, he waits and follows the mu'adhdhin in what he says, then after the adhan he makes the prescribed supplication, and then he prays the greeting of the mosque, combining the two virtues. Yes.
