Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: The author (may Allah have mercy on him) mentioned that it is disliked to turn one's head to the right and left. Is turning the eyes to the right and left, like turning the head, considered disliked?
Answer:
No, turning the head is what is meant. As for turning the eyes, that is not called turning; it is called looking. Yes.
