Does the prayer of the Imam who left his mobile ringing without answering it become invalid?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The prayer of a person is not invalidated by not answering a ringing mobile phone. However, it is better for him to silence it with a slight movement that does not affect the prayer. It is even more preferable to silence it before starting the prayer for fear of distraction.
