Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: In some of the prayers recited aloud, I used to close my eyes for the sake of khushu' and to enjoy listening to the Qur'an. Is there anything required of me regarding those past prayers?
Answer:
As long as you were ignorant, there is nothing required of you, if Allah wills. But leave it off in the future; do not close your eyes except for a reason that can only be removed by closing them. Yes.
