Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In winter, Honorable Shaykh, heaters are placed in front of the worshippers. What is your opinion and what is the ruling on that?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with them out of need; they warm themselves with them, and there is nothing wrong with them. They are considered like fire, meaning it is disliked to face the fire, but this is not fire; this is electricity. Yes.
