The Ruling on Excessive Movement in Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Our Shaykh, may Allah preserve you and protect you. This person is asking for your guidance regarding excessive movement during the prayer, adjusting one’s clothes and shemagh, and also looking at the watch and mobile phones and the like. What is your guidance? May Allah bless you.
Answer:
All of this is disliked in the prayer because it distracts one from the prayer. One should devote oneself to the prayer in which he is, and clear his mind for that prayer. These things have another time for them. Yes.
