Question:
May Allah reward you. Abu 'Abd al-Malik from Riyadh asks: What is the correct answer and the scriptural evidence regarding the greeting of the mosque when the iqamah is called and a person is in the first or second rak'ah? Does he complete the prayer, or does he cut it off? May Allah reward you.
Answer:
The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Jami` at-Tirmidhi 421Sahih (Darussalam) This includes entering a voluntary prayer after the iqamah, and it includes the case where the iqamah is called while he is in it. He must leave it and turn to the obligatory prayer, except that some scholars say he should complete it quickly, citing the saying of Allah the Exalted: [Muhammad 47:33] He says he should complete it quickly, unless he fears missing the congregation, in which case he cuts it off. The second opinion is that if he is in the last part of it, he completes it, and if he is in the first part, he cuts it off, because it would cause him to miss a long time.
So the opinions are three. The first opinion is that he cuts it off absolutely. The second opinion is that he does not cut it off absolutely, but he completes it quickly, unless he fears missing the congregation, in which case he cuts it off. The third is that if he is in the last part of it, he completes it, and if he is in the first part, he cuts it off. And it is likely

Answer:
The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
When the Iqamah has been called for the Salat then there is no Salat except the obligatory.
إذا أقيمت الصلاة فلا صلاة إلا المكتوبة،and do not invalidate your deeds.
وَلَا تُبْطِلُوا أَعْمَالَكُمْSo the opinions are three. The first opinion is that he cuts it off absolutely. The second opinion is that he does not cut it off absolutely, but he completes it quickly, unless he fears missing the congregation, in which case he cuts it off.
