The answer

A worshipper must interrupt their prayer if an incident occurs that necessitates help and first aid, and no one else can provide it. Examples include assisting someone in distress, rescuing a drowning person, or extinguishing a fire. It is permissible to help someone in need without interrupting the prayer, as long as one does not turn away from the or perform many actions within the prayer. If the assistance leads to turning away from the Qibla or performing many actions, then the prayer should be interrupted and resumed later, because such actions invalidate the prayer.
