Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : All right, a second question, my dear sir. Now, a man is praying a voluntary prayer, the greeting of the mosque, and the iqamah is called. Does he complete his prayer or does he say the taslim? And which is more preferable?
The Shaykh : The matter differs depending on the imam and his custom in the mosque!
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : So some imams, as you know, call the iqamah for the prayer immediately after the iqamah.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : And some of them take care to straighten the rows.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : And this takes time.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : All right, so if the man, for example, is in a mosque.
The questioner : He prays immediately!
The Shaykh : Ah, so in that case.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : If he knows, or at least it is most likely in his opinion.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : That he will miss the takbir of ihram, he interrupts the prayer immediately.
The questioner : For the sake of the takbir of ihram?!
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Subhan Allah!
The Shaykh : And if it is the opposite, and it is most likely in his opinion that if he completes the prayer, he will not miss the takbir of ihram, he completes it.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good, Abu 'Abd al-Rahman.
The Shaykh : May Allah preserve you.
The questioner : This, by Allah, is from your knowledge.
The Shaykh : May Allah bless you.
The questioner : May Allah prolong your life, if Allah wills.
The Shaykh : May Allah reward you with good and accept from you.
The questioner : I seek forgiveness from Allah, my dear sir, please bear with me if I ask you, I am a graduate of Sharia, my dear sir.
The Shaykh : Welcome.
The questioner : I ask while I am in Aqaba.
The Shaykh : I benefit from you.
The questioner : And I seek forgiveness from Allah, this is from your kindness. So I always like to ask you.
The Shaykh : Welcome, always ask at this time until eight o'clock.
The questioner : From six to eight?
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : And may Allah protect you, if Allah wills.
The questioner: Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
The Shaykh : The matter differs depending on the imam and his custom in the mosque!
