What is the ruling if the adhan for the Friday prayer is called while I am on my way to this mosque? Do I continue my way, or is it obligatory for me to pray in the place where the adhan was called and I am located?

The questioner : My question is regarding myself. I used to come to pray here in this mosque on the way. The adhan was called, so what is my ruling now? Do I continue my way to this mosque, or do I pray in the place where the adhan was called?

The Shaykh : If you are confident that you will catch at least the second rak'ah here and you continue, there is no harm. However, it is not obligatory for you to pray here, but it is better. It is not permissible for you to miss the Friday prayer because you want to pray specifically in this mosque. Therefore, if you are confident that you will catch the prayer here, even if it is only by catching one rak'ah, continue your journey until you reach it. But if you are confident that you will not catch the second rak'ah, pray in the nearest mosque where you can catch the prayer.
