The ruling on breaking a voluntary prayer when one's mother calls him while he is praying
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
I read to one of the brothers a statement: That it is permissible for a mother to call her son during a voluntary prayer. He said: There is a parallel for this in the hadith of the monk whose mother called him during prayer, but he did not respond to her, so she invoked a curse upon him, and Allah answered her supplication. What is the correct ruling in this matter? May Allah reward you.
The correct ruling in this is that if a mother calls her son while he is praying, and her call is due to a dire necessity, it is obligatory for him to break his prayer, and if he continues with it, he is sinful. Or if he knows that if he does not respond to this mother, she will become angry with him and consider it undutifulness to her on his part, then it is also obligatory for him to break his prayer. This is the story of the man in the hadith, because his mother became angry with him, as evidenced by the fact that she invoked a curse upon him.
As for if he knows that if his mother learns that he is in prayer, she will be satisfied with that, meaning: with his not speaking to her, then it is not obligatory for him to break the voluntary prayer.
