It is reported that Prophet Muhammad never offered non-ob-
ligatory prayers after the Adhan had been called. However, any-
one who offers a non-obligatory prayer after the Adhan is not to
be stopped.

All activity in the masjid must stop when the Mu'adhdhin
(Caller) makes the Adhan (as in the Holy Masjids of Makkah and
Madinah).

PRAYER BEFORE ’ID
The 'Id prayer is a sunnah prayer; it is not obligatory. Therefore
a Muslim offers only his greeting to the masjid before it. No prayer
precedes the 'Id prayer when it is offered in an open area.

Seek by the means Allah has made available to you the promised
life, but don't forget your share in this material world.
