:salam2: break the salah and open the door, cause if they are waiting, you will also not be able to concentrate in your salah.

Brother/sister have you got any evidence to what you said, not to be rude, but it is better that we say anything related to islam with evidence. I apologize if I said anything wrong...

- Imam Tabari said in the Qur'an, Allah says in Surah Baqarah vers 45:

And seek help in Patience and salah and truly it is extremely difficult except for al-Khashi'oun...

In this ayah, Allah dispraises those who do not have khushoo' and the one who doesn't cannot fulfil the salah properly and so it is wajib.

- Imam Qurtubi said it is fard in salah because Allah says the believers are those with khushoo' as sated above.

- Sheikhul Islam ibn Taymiyyah says khushoo' is wajib in salah (vol. 22 page 553)

- Ibn al Qayyim said in Kitab al Wabil page 24 that the ulema of the salaf agree that to seek khushoo' is fard in salah.

If i know someone is waiting for me at the door and i gotta open it, verily it harms to have concentration in the salah.

Brother ahmed_indian..baraka allaho feek..read the fatwa below..I think it comes *very close* to the issue you asked..and inshallah it will be of benefit for you




Ruling on stopping one’s prayer if something serious happens

If I am praying and someone knocks at the door, and there is no one else in the house, what should I do? If I stop praying, am I sinning?

Praise be to Allaah.

 If a prayer is naafil (supererogatory), there is more room for manoeuvre, and it is o.k. to stop praying in order to find out who is at the door. But in the case of a fard (obligatory) prayer, it is not permissible to stop it unless there is something important which one is afraid of missing. If it is possible to alert someone else, by saying “Subhan-Allaah” out loud in the case of men and clapping in the case of women, so that the person at the door will realize that the person in the house is busy praying, that will do away with any need to stop praying. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever is alarmed by anything whilst praying, let men say ‘Subhan-Allaah’ and let women clap.” (Agreed upon. Al-Bukhaari, 1234; Muslim, 421).

If it is possible to let the person who is at the door realize that the person inside the house is praying, by clapping in the case of women and saying ‘Subhan-Allaah’ in the case of men, whilst still praying, this will save you from having to stop the prayer. If that will not work, because one is too far away from the door or the person outside will not be able to hear, then it is o.k. to stop the prayer if necessary, especially if it is a naafil prayer. But in the case of an obligatory prayer, if it is something important or necessary, and there is the fear of missing it, it is also o.k. to stop the prayer, and to repeat it from the beginning. Praise be to Allaah.

From Majmmo’ Fataawa wa Maqaalaat Muntawwi’ah li Samaahat al-Shaykh Ibn Baaz (may Allaah have mercy on him), 11/108.
