Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: I was praying the Sunnah prayer when the mu'adhdhin called for the Maghrib prayer. Should I cut the prayer short or complete it?
Answer:

However, if he is in the last part of it and nothing will be missed, he should complete it. But if he is in the first part, he must cut it short; it is necessary to cut it short. Yes.
