Cutting off the voluntary prayer when the call to prayer is made

The questioner:
And that he should grow old when the prayer is established, and a person is calling out; does he interrupt it, despite the saying of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He): "Do they not feel ashamed of you when they return to their people with that which has given them remembrance?"

The Shaykh:
This matter has been discussed previously, and we said that, Allah knows best, the stronger position is that if he is at the beginning of the prayer, he breaks it off. However, if he is at the end of the prayer, he completes it and does not break it off. So, if the iqamah is called and he has already raised his head from the second rak'ah, and there is nothing left of the prayer, he completes it. But if the iqamah is called while he is in the first rak'ah, he breaks off the voluntary prayer. The saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him): Yes.
