Ruling on the greeting prayer of the mosque when the obligatory prayer has been called for

Machine translationRead the Arabic original

Q288: The questioner asks: If I enter the mosque and the prayer has already been called for, should I pray the greeting of the mosque, or should I start with the obligatory prayer?
A288: It is not permissible to pray anything other than the current prayer for which the call has been made; based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):

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

إذا أقيمت الصلاة، فلا صلاة إلا المكتوبة

Jami` at-Tirmidhi 421Sahih (Darussalam)
