Question:
This questioner asks: What is the ruling on listening to the adhan, and what is the ruling on selling when the adhan is called?
Answer:
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan an-Nasa'i 678Sahih (Darussalam) It is a recommended practice to listen to the adhan. When one hears the adhan, he should listen and say what the mu'adhdhin says, except for the hi'lah, in which case he should say: La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah.
And when the mu'adhdhin calls the adhan, he should hasten to pray. He should perform wudu' and go to the mosque. If it is for Jumu'ah, it is obligatory for him to do so, because of His saying (Exalted and Majestic is He): [Al-Jumu'ah: 9].
This is obligatory. And other than on Jumu'ah, it is prescribed for him, when he hears the adhan other than on Jumu'ah, to leave selling and occupy himself with wudu' if he is not already in a state of wudu', until he heads to the mosque to pray with the Muslims. If the time between the iqamah and the adhan is not sufficient for him to go, then it is obligatory for him to do so. But if there is ample time, there is no harm in completing what is in his hand, if he has merchandise and sells it, or something else; there is no blame. Then he should hasten to the prayer. As for Jumu'ah, no; he must, when he hears the call, not do anything else but hasten and rush to Jumu'ah. Yes.

Answer:
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
When you hear the Mu'adhdhin then say what he says
إذا سمعتم المؤذن فقولوا مثلما يقولAnd when the mu'adhdhin calls the adhan, he should hasten to pray. He should perform wudu' and go to the mosque. If it is for Jumu'ah, it is obligatory for him to do so, because of His saying (Exalted and Majestic is He):
O you who have believed, when [the adhan] is called for the prayer on the day of Jumu'ah [Friday], then proceed to the remembrance of Allah and leave trade
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِذَا نُودِيَ لِلصَّلاةِ مِنْ يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ فَاسْعَوْا إِلَى ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ وَذَرُوا الْبَيْعَThis is obligatory. And other than on Jumu'ah, it is prescribed for him, when he hears the adhan other than on Jumu'ah, to leave selling and occupy himself with wudu' if he is not already in a state of wudu', until he heads to the mosque to pray with the Muslims.
