The ruling on waiting during the second adhan on Friday and then praying after the adhan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Your Eminence! On Friday, it is observed that some of the worshippers, when the mu'adhdhin begins the second adhan and they enter the mosque, stand until the mu'adhdhin finishes. Then, when the khatib begins his khutbah, they start praying. What is the ruling?
Some scholars said it is like this:Meaning: that you respond to the mu'adhdhin, and then, after responding to the mu'adhdhin, you perform the two rak'ahs. However, this opinion is weak.And the stronger position is: that you pray two rak'ahs for two reasons: the first reason is to hasten in praying the two rak'ahs,instead of remaining standing and then performing them, we say: hasten.
The second: to prepare yourself to listen to the khutbah, for listening to the khutbah is more important than responding to the mu'adhdhin; because responding to the mu'adhdhin is a recommended practice (sunnah) and listening to the khutbah is obligatory, and the obligatory takes precedence over the recommended practice. As for if you enter while he is calling the adhan on a day other than Friday, there is nothing wrong with responding to the mu'adhdhin first so that you do not miss the response, and then afterwards you perform the greeting of the mosque.
