Is it permissible to interrupt prayer if a siren sounds for an accident?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is permissible to interrupt prayer in cases of necessity, such as saving an unaware person from certain destruction, like warning someone about a snake or a blind person from falling into a well. However, if the matter is simple and can be remedied, it is not permissible to interrupt the prayer.
