The detailed ruling on interrupting a voluntary prayer when the iqamah is called
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
A man began the sunnah prayer—Meaning: the two rak'ahs before the Zuhr prayer—and the iqamah was called. Does he interrupt the prayer with two taslims, or without any taslims? And what is your guidance on this?
If the iqamah is called and a person is in a voluntary prayer, if he is in the second rak'ah, he should complete it briefly.By the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): (Whoever catches a rak'ah of the prayer has caught the prayer) And this person caught a rak'ah before he was forbidden from continuing.
As for if he is in the first rak'ah, let him interrupt it;By the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): (When the iqamah is called, there is no prayer except the obligatory one) This is the detail in this issue, and although the scholars differed on it, this is the closest to the truth.
The questioner: Does he say the taslim or not?The Shaykh: No.
If he interrupts it, he does not say the taslim; because the taslim is only at the end of the prayer, and he has not reached the end of this one.
