Does switching off a cellphone while in Salaat invalidate the Salaat?
Answer
Cellphones should be switched off before Salaat. If a person forgets to do so and the phone rings while in Salaat then it should be switched off by engaging just one hand. The use of two hands will invalidate the Salaat. (Raddul Mukhtar vol.1 Pg.625; H.M. Saeed)
