Ruling on Responding to the Call of Parents During Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Shaykh said: If I enter into a voluntary prayer and my father or mother calls me, should I respond? Or should I continue the prayer?
Answer:
You must say: Subhan Allah, Subhan Allah. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan Abi Dawud 940Sahih (Al-Albani) In the law of those before us, Jurayj was commanded to respond to his mother, and he was punished for neglecting her and not responding to her. But in our law, Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) informed His Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that if something befalls a person, he should say: Subhan Allah, and a woman should clap, so that your father or someone else knows that you are praying, and they will excuse you. If it is an incident that necessitates breaking the prayer, you break it. If they call you for a matter of rescuing them from a fire, or from death, or from danger, break the prayer, even if it is obligatory, rescue them, and then return to the prayer. But if there is no danger, say: Subhan Allah, and if they are satisfied, praise be to Allah. Yes.

Answer:
You must say: Subhan Allah, Subhan Allah. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
If anything happens to someone during prayer, he should say “Glory be to Allah,” for when he glorifies Allah. He pays attention to him. Clapping applies only to women.
