Combining the Response to the Adhan and the Greeting of the Mosque on Friday
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you for your work, O Shaykh. As for the one who enters while the mu'adhdhin is calling the second adhan on Friday.
The Shaykh:
Two rak'ahs, then he sits. Is that the best?
The questioner:
The best is this.
The Shaykh:
He responds to the mu'adhdhin first, then prays two rak'ahs, so that he combines the two sunnahs.
The questioner:
But responding to the adhan is a confirmed sunnah?
The Shaykh:
It is a confirmed sunnah. The mosque [greeting] is a confirmed sunnah. He combines the two sunnahs.
The questioner:
If he knows, may Allah bless you, that the khutbah will be delivered during his prayer for the greeting of the mosque?
The Shaykh:
It does not harm. He responds to the mu'adhdhin and prays two rak'ahs. It is not a burden. Two or three, it is finished.
The questioner:
But listening to the khutbah is obligatory.
The Shaykh:
So he prays two rak'ahs, responds to the mu'adhdhin, and listens. The prayer of all of them is facilitated.
