The Ruling on Raising the Gaze to the Sky

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I ask Allah for you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: What is the ruling on raising the gaze to the sky during prayer?

Answer:
It is forbidden, severely forbidden. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Let certain people stop raising their eyes to the sky during prayer, or their eyes will not return to them, or their eyes will be plucked out.لينتهين أقوام عن رفع أبصارهم إلى السماء في الصلاة أو لا تعودوا إليهم أو لتخطفن أبصارهم
Therefore, it is not permissible to raise the gaze to the sky during prayer. Yes.
