Dar Al-Iftaa received a question from one of its followers that read: What is the ruling on interrupting the obligatory prayer for an important matter? If the phone rings while a person is performing one of the five prayers and he is waiting for a very important call, is he allowed to interrupt the prayer and answer the phone and then start his prayer again? Is there an opinion for this question in Islamic jurisprudential schools?
What is the ruling on interrupting the obligatory prayer for an important matter?
The fatwa said on its website in a previous fatwa: The criterion in this matter is personal, and achieving what is entrusted to it is up to the praying person himself in determining what is important in terms of necessity or need, and in determining what he will realize and what will not happen, so if he is waiting for a very important call, it is not possible He may compensate for the benefit that is lost by missing it or avoid the harm that results from not responding to it – according to what he most likely thinks -; It is permissible for him according to Islamic law to interrupt the prayer and respond to it, provided that the necessity or need for that must be estimated to its extent, and after that he must make up the prayer and begin it again.
Meanwhile, the Egyptian Fatwa House clarified the ruling on a company guaranteeing the products of other companies for a period of five years against manufacturing defects.
The fatwa wrote on its account on the social networking site Facebook: The questioner’s contract with an entity to guarantee some of the products he purchased against unexpected defects that occur to them after the expiration of the manufacturer’s warranty in exchange for his paying a sum of money all at once or in installments – is permissible according to Sharia law and there is nothing wrong with it, based on the following: This is a form of insurance that is permissible according to Islamic law. As it is a contract based on social solidarity and cooperation in righteousness. He, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family, said: A Muslim’s wealth is not permissible except with his own good will. Abu Ya’la included it in his Musnad, taking into account the regulations and laws regulating such transactions.
