If a person enters the mosque on Friday while the mu'adhdhin is calling the adhan, is it not better for him to wait until he finishes his adhan and then pray two rak'ahs, so as not to disturb him?

The Shaykh: Yes.

The questioner : Here, at this moment, he is praying so that he can be free to listen to the khutbah, and the mu'adhdhin is calling the adhan. Naturally, in our mosques now, the mu'adhdhin calls the adhan over speakers, and the volume is high. It may disturb this praying person. Is it not even more appropriate that he delay his prayer until the mu'adhdhin finishes, then he prays and makes it brief, just as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed?

The Shaykh : This statement is correct, and it is not correct. It is correct: if there were no khutbah, would not the khatib also disturb him? And the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: So this disturbance is not considered, and that is even more so. Is that clear?

The questioner: Yes, may Allah reward you with good.

The Shaykh: Go ahead.
