What is prescribed for one who is praying a voluntary prayer when the iqamah is called
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If the mu'adhdhin calls the iqamah for the prayer, and I am still in the sunnah prayer, should I conclude the prayer, or should I complete the prayer and then join them?
Answer:
The stronger of the scholars' opinions is that you should cut it off, intend to cut it off, and join the prayer; based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):Jami` at-Tirmidhi 421Sahih (Darussalam) narrated by Muslim, and because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw a man praying while the iqamah had been called, and he disapproved of it, peace and blessings be upon him.
So the point is: if the iqamah is called and you are praying, cut it off and enter with the imam, and do not complete it, for the obligatory prayer is more important.
And some of the people of knowledge said: that he should complete it briefly, but the correct view is that he does not complete it, rather he cuts it off, and he does not need to say the taslim, rather he cuts it off by intention, and that is sufficient, and praise be to Allah.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
The stronger of the scholars' opinions is that you should cut it off, intend to cut it off, and join the prayer; based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):
When the Iqamah has been called for the Salat then there is no Salat except the obligatory.
إذا أقيمت الصلاة؛ فلا صلاة إلا المكتوبةSo the point is: if the iqamah is called and you are praying, cut it off and enter with the imam, and do not complete it, for the obligatory prayer is more important.
And some of the people of knowledge said: that he should complete it briefly, but the correct view is that he does not complete it, rather he cuts it off, and he does not need to say the taslim, rather he cuts it off by intention, and that is sufficient, and praise be to Allah.
