Ruling on interrupting the prayer for a parent’s call

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Badr asks from Jeddah: If my parent calls me while I am in prayer, do I interrupt my prayer, even if I am in the last rak'ah?

Answer:
No, do not interrupt your prayer for your parent’s call. Rather, shorten it so that you can respond to your parent, provided that the shortening does not invalidate the prayer. The only one for whom the prayer is interrupted is the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). As for anyone other than the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), do not interrupt the prayer for his call, but shorten it. Yes.
