Entering the mosque during the adhan and the greeting of the mosque
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: If I enter the mosque during the adhan, should I pray the greeting of the mosque, or should I follow the mu'adhdhin?
Answer:
You combine both benefits. You follow the mu'adhdhin, and when he finishes, you pray the greeting of the mosque. This applies only to the one who arrives while the mu'adhdhin is calling for the Friday prayer and the khatib is on the minbar. In that case, you begin with the greeting of the mosque and do not follow the mu'adhdhin, so that you are free to listen to the sermon.
