Question

Assalamualekum,

If I'm offering Salah and that time Azan is given in mosque, should I still repeat Azan by breaking my salah niyah or should I continue my salah?

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, The Most Merciful.

As-salaamu `alaykum wa-ramatullahi wa-barakatuh.

If one is performing salaah and the azaan is given, he has to continue with his salaah without replying to the azaan.[1]

And Allah Ta`ala Knows Best.
