Breaking prayer

Answered by 

Answered by Shaykh Faraz Rabbani

Can you break your prayer if you have not started saying the Fatiha yet?

Answer:

In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullah,

In general, once you begin an act of worship you have the duty to complete it; and only a strong reasons (such as fear of harm, for oneself or others) allow breaking the prayer. (Shurunbulali, Maraqi al-Falah)
