The Ruling on Facing a Fire During Prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I have a fireplace in the tent of my house, and sometimes in the winter days I am compelled to perform the regular voluntary prayers and other voluntary prayers inside this place, facing this fire. Is this practice prescribed?

Answer:
This is disliked. Do not face the fire. Place the fire to your right or to your left, or in a place other than the qiblah in front of you in prayer, because this involves imitating the Majus who worship fire. Yes.
