Abstract

 




voluntary interruption of obligatory (compulsory) prayers according to the well-known view of the jurists -rather their Ijmāʿ (consensus)- is forbidden. Sometimes ṣalāt (prayer) -in absolute terms- and sometimes obligatory ṣalāt (prayer) are the subject of ruling. In the meantime, issuance a fatwā to interrupt praying (ṣalāt) is permitted only if necessary. It has been cited to the Qur''an, news and the consensus of jurists to prove this ruling. It is necessary to evaluate the evidence of this rule due to the widespread and important nature of this secondary matter (subdivision, branch), which in a more general form has become a jurisprudential rule based on the prohibition of the annulment of worship duties (‘Ibadah worship, religious ritual practice), and also it is necessary to evaluate it due to the evidence of the consensus of jurists on this issue. All the documents of the mentioned consensus seem distorted based on the results of this research, which has been written in a descriptive-analytical method, and there is no reason for this rule -except the documented consensus of the jurists
