Is it permissible for a traveler who works at a fire station 60 km away from his home to abandon the regular Sunnah prayers and supererogatory prayers, following the action of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and is it obligatory to interrupt the prayer upon hearing the fire alarm?
Fatwas No. 43606 and 41152 pertain to supererogatory prayers during travel, and the interruption of obligatory prayers for firefighters in the event of a fire, while interrupting a supererogatory prayer is easier.
