Question : #331

Category: Salaat / Prayers

Subject:	salat vs jihad
Question:	If a scenario occurs between jihad and Salat and only one can be performed, which one should be done?
Answer:	It depends on the situation and it can not always the same. Imam Ali (AS) stopped fighting against his enemies and performed Salat on time. But if it is a situation of saving life, and lany delay can cause life loss, or big damage, then we must save life before performing Salat. We should not leave performing Salat till it's time finishes. The way of performing Salat depends on our ability.
