Dealing with the red alert announced while people are offering Salah

303

The first question of Fatwa no. 19773 All Praise be to Allah, Alone, and peace and blessings be upon the last Prophet.The Permanent Committee for Scholarly Research and Ifta’ had read the letter received from his Eminence the Grand Mufty (Islamic scholar qualified to issue legal opinions) from the Director of Religious Affairs Department at the Civil Defense that was sent to the Committee from the General Secretariat of the Council of Senior Scholars no. (3937) on 5/7/1418 A.H.The inquirer had asked several questions, and after the committee had studied them, it answered as follows:The first question: What is the ruling on hearing the alarm of the civil defense while offering Salah (prayer)? In this case, how can one leave Salah if this is permissible? Should a person continue to offer the Salah or perform it again? After a person accomplishes their task, how should they act?

The answer: If the soldiers hear the sound of the alarm of the civil defense during the Salah, (Part No. 6; Page No. 347) if there is an absolute danger to people or money, they should not continue offering Salah, for they should break the Salah, ward off the danger, then after accomplishing that, they should perform their Salah again, for the first Salah was nullified by their breaking it. Whereas on hearing the alarm, provided that there is no danger, they should continue offering their Salah without breaking it, for Allah (Exalted be He) says: ...and render not vain your deeds. .May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
