The Shaykh:
Is it permissible?
The questioner:
Is it permissible to interrupt the obligatory prayer?
The Shaykh:
No, you do not interrupt the obligatory prayer, my brother, except if you want to save a person from destruction, meaning saving someone from destruction is permissible. For example, if a blind person approaches a well or a fire, you interrupt the prayer to save him, or if a person falls into water and you fear he will drown, you save him and interrupt the obligatory prayer. As for anything else, you do not interrupt the obligatory prayer. Yes.
