The Shaykh : How?
The questioner : A man entered the mosque and prayed the greeting of the mosque, and he was in the second rak'ah when the iqamah was called. Should he complete the voluntary prayer, the greeting of the mosque, or break off the prayer?
The Shaykh : We have also spoken about this issue repeatedly. If it is more likely in his opinion that if he completes the greeting he will catch the takbir al-ihram with the imam, he should complete it; otherwise, he should break it off.
