Prayer and the Mobile Phone: It Contains Clips and Attractive Images
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: Some young people have clips and images on their mobile phones that are devoid of [decency]. Is it permissible for them to pray while carrying them?
Answer:
It is not permissible for them to carry them, whether in prayer or outside of prayer. It is not permissible for them to carry clips that are attractive, nor is it permissible to carry mobile phones that have cameras or computers that bring in attractive images. The Muslim avoids evil and the means to evil. He takes a mobile phone that has no objectionable content, just a phone for calls, not one for bringing in things and obscene and attractive scenes or for taking pictures. This is not permissible. This is a trial. We ask Allah for safety.

May Allah reward you,
