The Ruling on Interrupting the Prayer to Open the Door


Question :

Is it permissible to interrupt the prayer in order to open the door or to answer the telephone?


Answer:

You are required to pray in the mosque with the congregation, but if you were delayed due to some valid excuse, then you began the prayer, it is not allowed for you to interrupt it due to a knock (on the door) or the telephone or anything else. However if the knocking annoyed you and you feared that it will upset your concentration, it is allowed for you to interrupt the prayer, if you are unable to open the door while you are praying, and there is no one else present.
