The Athaan as One Starts Fardh Salaat
Reading Time: < 1 minute
Q. If the Athaan is called just as one starts with Salaat, should the Salaat be discontinued?
A. If the one performing the Salaat is a male and the Salaat is the Fardh Salaat, and he is able to join in the fardh jamaat, then he should end his fardh niyyat by breaking the Salaat if it is a two rakaat fardh Salaat or by completing two rakaats if it is a four rakaat Salaat.
If the one performing Salaat is a woman, then there is no need for her to discontinue her Salaat. She should continue.
