Question:
He asks: If a Muslim is praying a voluntary prayer and the prayer is established, does he break off his prayer, or is that a nullification of the deed?
Answer:
This is a matter of consideration. If he has not entered it after the iqamah, he does not enter the voluntary prayer; this is agreed upon that he does not enter it. But if it is established while he is in it, the stronger view, and Allah knows best, is that if he is in the last part of it, he completes it. But if he is in the first part and the time is pressing, he breaks it off. Yes.
