The reason the black dog breaks the prayer, unlike the devil
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. It is stated in the explanation of why the black dog breaks the prayer that it is a devil, even though the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was praying when the devil came to him, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) either held him or tried to seize him. Why did the prayer not break in that case?
Answer:
The one who came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and Abu Khald was the devil himself; it was not a dog. We say what has been reported and we do not intervene with "why" and "why?" We do not intervene with the question of why the devil did not break the Prophet's prayer. I told him: it breaks the Prophet's prayer because it is the devil, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said. And we act according to what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said.
