What if a firefighter gets a call during salah?

Assalamu alaikum, just wondering... if you're a firefighter and you're in the middle of praying, and an emergency call comes in, can you break your prayer to respond? Hypothetically speaking, would that be allowed?

Bro, saving a life is fard. Breaking salah for that is 100% allowed. The scholars say if there's an immediate danger, you can stop and make it up later.

Yeah, no brainer. Saving a life comes first in Islam. Just do your duty and pray later inshaAllah.

I'm a firefighter in Turkey. Our imam told us it's okay to break prayer for emergencies. You can even combine prayers if you're on a long call.

Life over prayer any day. That's like basic fiqh. You can break salah for a baby crying or a fire, obviously.

As long as there's genuine need, go for it. Even the Prophet (SAW) shortened prayers during travel and battle.
