Breaking one's Salaah to attend to a child
Question
My son is 6 months old, during salaah I lay him on the floor. If I see he is in danger as in choking during making Fard salaah what do I do?
Answer
If there is nobody else to attend to him while you are performing Salaah and you see him choking, you can break your Salaah in order to see to him.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
