The electric heater in the mosque
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Fatwa number ( 15726 )
Q: What is the ruling on using electric heaters in mosques in the winter, because some of the brothers say that heaters are fire and that it is not permissible to face the fire?
A: There is no harm in placing heaters in the mosque for the benefit of the worshippers, and there is no harm in facing them, because they are not fire, but rather electrical energy
similar to light bulbs. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
