Can we break or interrupt prayer during Earthquakes?

Can we break or interrupt salah to save someone's life?


As for interrupting the prayer with an Islamically acceptable justification, that is prescribed. So the worshipper may interrupt his prayer in order to kill a snake and the like, because we have been instructed to kill them; or for fear of losing some valuable property, whether it belongs to him or to someone else; or to help someone in desperate need who is calling for help; or to alert someone who is heedless or is asleep, towards whom a snake or the like is heading, and he cannot be alerted by saying tasbih. And one who is fasting may break his fast in order to save someone who is drowning, or when he fears for himself or for an infant. 



Undoubtedly the occurrence of earthquakes, floods and the like come under the headings of excuses which make it permissible to interrupt the obligatory prayer. In fact, it must be interrupted in such cases, if by interrupting it the worshipper will be able to save himself or one of his brothers. Allah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning):

{and do not throw [yourselves] with your [own] hands into destruction} [al-Baqarah 2:195].
