Cutting the Prayer When the Door Is Knocked On
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This woman says: If I am praying and I am in the first prayer, in the first unit, and someone knocks on the door, am I allowed to cut off the prayer?
Answer:
No, the prayer is not cut off except to avert a danger to you or to someone else, to avert a danger, or to rescue a person from a deadly situation; there is no harm in that. As for cutting it off for anything else, it is not permissible. However, you should clear your throat if someone knocks on the door, so that they know you are in prayer, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to do this.
