Is speaking permissible during prayer when necessary, such as warning someone?
General Chapter
Al-Mughni
Book of Friday Prayer
Primary text
Speaking is permissible during prayer if it is necessary, such as warning a blind person about a well, fire, snake, or conflagration. This is permissible because such speech is allowed even if it invalidates the prayer, making it more permissible here (when prayer is not being performed or is not the context of the action).
