The ruling on responding to one's parents while performing voluntary prayer

Question:
If one of my parents calls me while I am in voluntary prayer, should I break the prayer, knowing that they are aware I am praying?

Answer:
If the father or mother is not affected by the delay, meaning if you can wait until you finish, there is no need to break the prayer. However, if there is a dire necessity and there is a fear that delaying will cause the need to be missed, then break the voluntary prayer. There is a lesson in the story of Jirjis. Jirjis was a worshipper among the Children of Israel. One day, his mother came to him while he was praying and said, "O Jirjis!" He said, "O Lord, my mother and my prayer." Then he continued in his prayer and did not break it, so his mother left. Then she came to him on another day while he was praying and said, "O Jirjis!" He said, "O Lord, my mother and my prayer." Then he continued in his prayer and did not break it, and his mother left. Then she came to him on the third day and said, "O Jirjis!" He said, "O Lord, my mother and my prayer." Then he proceeded in his prayer and did not break it, so she left and said at that time, "O Allah, do not let me die until I look at the faces of the fornicators," meaning the women who commit zina. Her supplication was answered, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) approved of her, and he did not disapprove of this, (peace and blessings be upon him), nor did he say that she had made a mistake, nor did he say that he... rather, he approved of her.
This indicates that it is prescribed for him to break it, because voluntary prayer is broken in case of need. Being dutiful to the mother is obligatory. So if the need arises to break it, he breaks it and responds to the mother or father, then returns to his prayer from the beginning. Voluntary prayer is more lenient in its requirements, and praise be to Allah.
This is the mother of Jirjis; her supplication was answered, so Jirjis was tested, and a group of the foolish among the Children of Israel took control over him. They told a prostitute to go to him to tempt him. So she went to him and offered herself to him for zina. Allah protected him from her, and he did not pay attention to her. So she went to a shepherd and allowed him to have relations with her, and she became pregnant. When she gave birth, they asked her, "Where did this child come from?"
She said, "From Jirjis." She lied about him and accused him of zina. So they came and demolished his monastery where he used to worship, and they beat him. He said, "What is your business?"
They said, "You committed zina with this woman." He said, "Bring me the boy." They brought the boy. He said, "Give me time," and he prayed two rak'ahs and supplicated to his Lord that Allah... prove his innocence. So he went to the boy and poked his belly and said, "Who is your father, O boy?"
He said, "My father is so-and-so the shepherd." So Allah made him speak while he was in the cradle. He is one of the three who spoke in the cradle, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said. So Allah proved his innocence, and they apologized to him. They said, "We will rebuild your monastery for you out of gold." He said, "No, rather rebuild it for me out of clay, as it was at first."
The point is that this calamity happened to him because he persisted in not responding to his mother. This indicates that it is prescribed to respond to her and not to persist, because her need may be something that should not be delayed. So if this happens to him today, and a man calls his son or a woman calls her daughter while he is in voluntary prayer, if he fears that they will become angry with him, or if the need is urgent, then he breaks the prayer.
However, if he knows that they will not become angry and will not be affected, then he completes it and then responds to their need. Yes.
