If I’m praying and my parent calls to me to come down, am I supposed to stop praying to answer? Am I supposed to just listen to them and run down? In the same vein, if a grandparent calls me on the phone when I am praying, should I stop praying to answer?
Am I allowed to text them, asking if it’s an emergency and if not, can I speak to them later because I can’t talk now….— or is that considered “talking” while praying?
What takes precedence– respecting my parents/grandparents immediately, or not talking while praying?
Most often, if they’re calling me, it’s not something urgent that can’t wait….
Thanks for your help.
