When is it permissible to interrupt the obligatory prayer?

Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. The questioner asks: When is it permissible to interrupt the obligatory prayer, and likewise the voluntary prayer?

Answer:
It is not permissible to interrupt the obligatory prayer except out of dire necessity. For example, to save a person from destruction, if a person has fallen into fire or into water, and you want to save him, you interrupt the prayer and save him. Or if a blind person approaches a well, a pit, or a fire, you interrupt the prayer and prevent the blind person from perishing. This is regarding the obligatory prayer.
