If one’s parents call him in salah what shall he do?

In the name of Allah, the most Beneficent, the most Merciful.

Answer

If one of his parents calls him whilst he is in the farz prayer, then he should not answer them unless they are calling for his help.

If he is engaged in his sunnah or nafl salah, then he should answer them if they are unaware that he is praying, otherwise he should not answer them unless they are calling for his help as there is no obedience to the created creatures of Allah in the disobedience of Allah (SWA).
