What is the ruling on one who breaks his prayer in the Haram in order to lift a mushaf that was on the ground so that it would not be trampled by people’s feet?

Question:
What is the ruling on one who exits his prayer without his intention while praying in the Haram, where he saw a man place the mushaf on the ground and people were trampling it with their feet?

Answer:
There is no doubt that the noble mushaf must be respected and lifted from being desecrated, but it is not permissible for you to break the prayer. The prayer is not broken except in cases of dire necessity, such as saving a Muslim from destruction. If you saw, for example, a blind person approaching a well, or a fire, or water that would drown him, and you feared for his life, then you may break the prayer and save the one who has fallen into danger. As for breaking the prayer in cases other than dire necessity, it is not permissible. However, you can point or signal to one of the people present around you or to passersby to lift the mushaf, or if it is close to you, you can walk to it and lift it while you are in prayer without breaking it, by walking to the mushaf. Yes. And lift it while you are in prayer without breaking it. Yes. May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you well.
