Completing qadha salaah after the iqaamah is called out for salaah

Q:

1. If I am offering my qadha namaz and iqamah is called for the next prayer, do I have to stop praying qadha?

2. If I prayed full qadha namaz in this situation, is my qaza prayer valid?

3. What if I am just about to complete my qadha prayer and iqamah is called for the next prayer?

A:

1. Complete the qadha salaah and thereafter join the fard salaah.

2. Yes.

3. As above in number 1

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
