If a person is praying and a situation arises that requires him to leave the prayer, should he leave the prayer directly, or should he leave the congregation and pray alone?

The questioner : Should we apply by analogy to this case of vomiting, for example, if there is a dire necessity and one of the ma'mum (those praying behind the imam) is called upon to save, for instance, a person from perishing? Should he pray alone and complete his prayer, hastening or rushing through it?
The Shaykh : Yes, we apply by analogy to it, because saving a protected person is obligatory, even if it is stipulated that the matter will be lost if he completes the prayer; in that case, he may cut off his prayer entirely in order to save this protected person.
The questioner : Yes, may Allah reward you with the best reward.
