What should be done when a worshiper collapses unconscious during Friday Prayer: should others be alerted to seek help, or should one wait until the prayer is finished?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The prayer is interrupted to rescue the injured person if they would be harmed by waiting for the worshiper to finish. However, if they would not be harmed, then they are rescued after the prayer. The worshiper acts according to what they predominantly believe regarding whether the injured person would be harmed or not.
