Question:
If the iqamah is called and I am in a voluntary prayer, should I break it off to catch the opening takbir with the imam?
Answer:
Breaking it off is the best, based on his (peace and blessings be upon him) saying:Jami` at-Tirmidhi 421Sahih (Darussalam). So you break it off and engage in the takbir with the imam, entering into the prayer, unless you are at the end of it, after the bowing in the second rak'ah. In that case, you complete it, because there is no prayer left, only a little remains. The minimum of the prayer is one rak'ah. If you have prayed the two rak'ahs and bowed in the second bowing, only the prostration or the tashahhud remains. The most apparent, and Allah knows best, is that there is no blame on you for completing it, because only a part of the rak'ah remains. Yes.

When the Iqamah has been called for the Salat then there is no Salat except the obligatory.
