The hadith about breaking obligatory prayer to answer mother

Q:

The hadith about breaking obligatory prayer to answer mother’s call.
Is it true?

A:

Wa Alaikum al-salam

thanks for your question

Its not true about the obligatory prayer, there are two type of ahadith in this matter, Absolute and constrained, first type include both obligatory and recommended prayers. The second type of ahadith are just about recommended prayers, so we can conclude that the absolute type of ahadith is about recommended prayers, hence it not permitted to break obligatory prayer to respond to parental call.
