The Place of Seeking Refuge from Satan in Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good. A listener sent a message containing a collection of questions, one of which says: Is seeking refuge from Satan due to excessive whispers in the prayer done during the prayer or after the taslim?
The Shaykh:
One seeks refuge from Satan after the opening supplication. When he says the takbirat al-ihram, he recites the supplication of opening: Subhanaka Allahumma wa bihamdika, tabarakasmuka wa ta'ala jadduka, wa la ilaha ghayruk. Then he seeks refuge with Allah from the accursed Satan, then he says Bismillah al-Rahman al-Rahim, then he recites al-Fatihah. So seeking refuge is at the beginning of the prayer, after the opening supplication and after the takbirat al-ihram.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good, and may Allah reward you.
The questioner:
If the praying person, Shaykh Salih, feels that he has fallen into the traps of whispers during the prayer, is it permissible for him to seek refuge with Allah from Satan during the prayer?
The Shaykh:
No, he should cast aside the whisper, not pay attention to it, and focus on his prayer and the presence of his heart. He should not pay attention to the whisper, but reject it. The seeking of refuge at the beginning of the prayer is sufficient.
