Ruling on interrupting the prayer for a need?

Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. The questioner asks: Is it permissible to interrupt the tawaf (circumambulation of the Ka'bah) for the sake of prayer or for a need?

Answer:
It is not permissible except to save a Muslim from a deadly danger, such as a blind person approaching a well, where you fear he will fall in, or approaching a fire or blaze, where you fear he will fall in. Only saving someone from a deadly danger interrupts the prayer for its sake.
