What is the authenticity of the hadith in which Jurayj said, "O my Lord, my mother and my prayer," and is it permissible to answer the mother if one is praying a voluntary prayer?

Question : She is inquiring about the hadith mentioned regarding the man who was praying, O Shaykh, when his mother called him and he said, "O my Lord, my mother and my prayer," to the end of the hadith?

Answer : Yes, this hadith is authentic. The scholars (may Allah have mercy on them) cited it as evidence that if a man is praying a voluntary prayer and his mother calls him, it is obligatory for him to answer her and make up his prayer. However, if a person is praying an obligatory prayer, he does not answer his mother or anyone else.
Because once a person enters into an obligatory prayer, it becomes forbidden for him to break it, except in cases of dire necessity, such as if she calls him to save her from a fire or from an enemy who has attacked her, or something similar. In such a case, he breaks the prayer. In the case of a voluntary prayer, we said there is no harm in answering his mother; in fact, it is obligatory for him to do so, unless the mother is making it difficult for him while he is praying. In that situation, he should let her know that he is praying. For example, he might say, "Subhan Allah," or clear his throat, or raise his voice in recitation so that his mother realizes he is in prayer and excuses him? Yes.
