The ruling when the prayer is called and a person is in a voluntary prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
When the prayer is called and a person is in a voluntary prayer, what should he do?
Answer:
It is prescribed that he should cut it off. If he is in a voluntary prayer, he should cut it off to focus on the obligatory prayer and join the imam from the beginning, based on his saying (peace and blessings be upon him):Jami` at-Tirmidhi 421Sahih (Darussalam) narrated by Muslim in the Sahih. So he cuts it off... and occupies himself with the opening takbir, with the obligatory prayer. This is if it is before the bowing of the second rak'ah.
As for if he has already bowed in the second rak'ah, and all that remains for him is the prostration, or the tashahhud, then the matter is broad in this case -if Allah wills- if he completes it; because the prayer has passed, and there is no longer a prayer remaining, less than the minimum of the prayer, and all that remains is a little that will not occupy him, if Allah wills.

When the Iqamah has been called for the Salat then there is no Salat except the obligatory.
إذا أقيمت الصلاة؛ فلا صلاة إلا المكتوبةAs for if he has already bowed in the second rak'ah, and all that remains for him is the prostration, or the tashahhud, then the matter is broad in this case -if Allah wills- if he completes it; because the prayer has passed, and there is no longer a prayer remaining, less than the minimum of the prayer, and all that remains is a little that will not occupy him, if Allah wills.
