The ruling on interrupting a voluntary prayer when the call for the obligatory prayer is made

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: What is the correct position regarding a person who has started a voluntary prayer and then the call for the obligatory prayer is made?

Answer:
It is correct that he interrupts the voluntary prayer, based on the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)
When the Iqamah has been called for the Salat then there is no Salat except the obligatory.إذا أقيمت الصلاة فلا صلاة إلا المكتوبة.
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 421Sahih (Darussalam)
However, some scholars say that if he is in the last part of the voluntary prayer, he should complete it, but if he is in the first part, he should interrupt it and not continue with it. Yes.
