Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: I have learned that it is not permissible for a Muslim to interrupt the obligatory prayer, but is it permissible if he sees that his son has fallen into danger and he fears for his life? Is it permissible for him to interrupt the prayer in that case?
Answer:
Yes, he may interrupt the prayer to save a life from destruction before it, such as a burning fire or something that poses a danger to him. If he sees that this person is heading toward this danger, he interrupts his prayer and saves him from the danger. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
