Rabbanaa aatinaa fid-dunyaa hasanatan wafil aakhirati hasanatan waqinaa 'athaaban-naar/-
(Surah Al-Baqarah ,verse 201)
Share 
an obligatory prayer, such as the Sunnah prayer before Zuhr, when the
iqaamah (call immediately preceding the congregational prayer) has
been given?
A woman is not obliged to offer the prayer in congregation like a man,
such that she would have to stop or delay the Sunnah prayer that is
offered before the obligatory prayer and offer it after the obligatory
prayer in order to catch up with the congregational prayer.
Praise be to Allaah.
Muslim (710) narrated from Abu Hurayrah that the Prophet|(blessings
and peace of Allah be upon him) said: "When the iqaamah for prayer is
given, there is no prayer except the prescribed prayer." This applies
to the one to whom the command to pray in congregation is addressed or
to the one who is present in the mosque when the iqaamah for prayer
has been given. With regard to the woman who is in her house or a man
who is excused for not attending prayers in congregation, they are not
addressed in this hadeeth, so they may offer the naafil prayer even
when they can hear the iqaamah from the mosques.
The same applies to a man if he wants to pray in a mosque otherthan
the one in which the iqaamah has been given; he mayoffer the naafil
prayer in his house.
It says in Kashshaaf al-Qinaa' (1/460): If the iqaamah has beengiven,
i.e., the muezzin has started to give the iqaamah for the prayer the
he wants to offer behind the imam (then he shouldnot do any naafil
prayer), otherwise he may do so, such as if the iqaamah is given in a
mosque in which he does not intend to pray. This was stated
inal-Furoo'. To sum up, there should be no prayer except the
prescribed prayer (after the iqaamah has been given), so he should not
start any naafil prayer or any regular Sunnah prayer, before Fajr or
otherwise, in the mosque or elsewhere, or even in his house, because
the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: "When the
iqaamah for prayer is given, there is no prayer except the prescribed
prayer."
