Machine translationRead the Arabic original
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 his prayer or leave it?
The Shaykh : How?
The questioner : A man entered the mosque and prayed the greeting of the mosque, and it was the second rak'ah when the iqamah was called; should he pray? Should he complete the voluntary prayer of the greeting of the mosque or break off the prayer?
The Shaykh : This issue, too, we have discussed 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 completes it; otherwise, he breaks it off.
