The questioner:
The questioner says: If a man enters the mosque and the mu'adhdhin is calling the adhan for the prayer, does he pray two rak'ahs or does he wait?

The Shaykh:
If the adhan is for Jumu'ah, the adhan of Jumu'ah before the imam, when the imam enters and the mu'adhdhin stands to call the adhan and someone enters the mosque, he should hasten to pray two rak'ahs so that he is free to listen to the khutbah. But if the adhan is for a prayer other than Jumu'ah, it is better that he waits and follows the mu'adhdhin, and he makes the du'a' after the adhan, and then he prays the two rak'ahs of the greeting of the mosque.
