فَمَثَلًا: إِذَا أُقِيمَتْ صَلَاةُ الْعَصْرِ، وَدَخَلْتَ الْمَسْجِدَ وَأَنْتَ لَمْ تُصَلِّ الظُّهْرَ، فَلَا تُصَلِّ الظُّهْرَ؛ لِأَنَّهُ أُقِيمَتْ صَلَاةُ الْعَصْرِ، لَكِنِ ادْخُلْ مَعَهُمْ بِنِيَّةِ الظُّهْرِ، ثُمَّ إِذَا فَرَغْتَ مِنْ صَلَاتِكَ فَصَلِّ الْعَصْرَ.

For instance, if you enter the mosque for the Asr prayer but have not yet prayed Dhuhr, do not pray Dhuhr separately since the congregational prayer has begun. Instead, join the congregation with the intention of praying Dhuhr, then perform your Asr prayer once you finish.

وَإِذَا أُقِيمَتِ الصَّلَاةُ وَأَنْتَ قَدْ شَرَعْتَ فِي النَّافِلَةِ، فَهَلْ تُكْمِلُهَا أَوْ تَخْرُجُ مِنْهَا؟

If the congregational prayer begins while you are already performing a voluntary prayer, should you finish it or stop immediately?
