Is it permissible to interrupt the obligatory prayer to retrieve something that was stolen from one?

Question : May Allah keep you safe. The questioner says: Regarding movement in prayer, I would like to ask: If I see someone taking something from my belongings that I placed in front of me while I am in an obligatory prayer or otherwise, Honorable Shaykh, do I follow him and take it from him by force if I need to, or what should I do?

Answer : I mean, as if this man placed coins in front of him, because some people are hesitant about coins because they have an image on them, and they say, how can I pray when there are coins with an image in my pocket?
And he places them in front of him, so now he is praying toward an image; he is now praying toward an image, and this is greater than having this image in his pocket. There is no doubt that praying toward an image, which is the majority of people, is greater than if it were in his pocket. But all of this, my brothers, what is its origin?
Ignorance. Its origin is ignorance. He thinks that if he turns the coins over and leaves them in front of him, it is less severe than if they remained in his pocket. But perhaps a student of knowledge praying next to this man would say, "My brother, if you do not want these coins, give them to me and I will suffice you of them." So this man who asked says that he placed a need and a person came and snatched it and ran away. Does he pursue him? And is the prayer valid? We say this is among the necessary movements.
This is a point of hesitation for me; it requires reflection. It may be said that if the need is of great danger, meaning it is of great importance, then he may pursue it. But if it is simple, let him proceed in his prayer. And this is if the prayer is obligatory. But if the prayer is voluntary, the matter is easy. What does he do? He interrupts it and pursues it; there is no problem. Yes. It is a matter that requires reflection. I told you we will think about it, if Allah wills. Yes.
