Question:
Your Eminence, among the questions of this questioner, he says: What is your Eminence’s opinion if a worshipper interrupts the last rak'ah of the sunnah, and this is when the mu'adhdhin calls for the prayer; and this is so that he may catch the opening takbir?
Answer:
This is obligatory. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Jami` at-Tirmidhi 421Sahih (Darussalam) If the iqamah is called and he has one rak'ah remaining, he should interrupt it and pray, entering with the imam. But if the iqamah is called and he has finished, with only the prostration or the tashahhud remaining, he should complete it. Yes.
The presenter: Thank you, Your Eminence, and may Allah bless you, your knowledge, and benefit the Muslims through you.

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