Praying Missed Obligatory Prayer When Iqaamah Has Been Called




Shaykh Muhammad Saalih al-Uthaymeen wrote: 

“The Prophet (sallallaahu alayhi wasallam) said: “When the iqaamah is called, there is no prayer except the obligatory prayer.”[1] His saying, ((There is no prayer)) is general. It includes every prayer. If a person has a missed obligatory prayer upon him, which he forgot to pray and did not remember it except when the iqaamah for prayer is called, he should not pray it. However, he should join the Imam with the intention of that obligatory prayer that he missed. 

He should not isolate himself from the people. For example, if the iqaamah for ‘Asr prayer is called, and you entered the mosque while you have not prayed Zuhr; do not pray Zuhr because the iqaamah for ‘Asr has been called. However, join them with the intention of Zuhr. Then when you finish your prayer, perform the ‘Asr prayer.
