Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : A man entered the mosque while the mu'adhdhin was calling the adhan. Should he pray the greeting of the mosque or stand to repeat what the mu'adhdhin is saying?
The Shaykh : I think your question is incomplete, and it is a general question. I think you mean on Friday?
The questioner : No, it is general, Professor.
The Shaykh : If it is general, it is easier. But to clarify, the answer is no; he must respond to the mu'adhdhin first, and then he prays the greeting of the mosque.
The Shaykh : Okay.
The questioner : Okay.
The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah.
The Shaykh : But your question is incomplete.
