The ruling on facing the sun and moon in the state of death
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Shaykh’s sons, is it permissible to face the sun in the state of death or the eclipse?
Answer:
Yes, it is permissible. The report that came regarding facing the two luminaries is not authentic; it is a report with no basis, a report with no basis, and it is not suitable for use as evidence.
Reason also indicates this, because the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to the people of Madinah, “Face east or face west,” and one of the two luminaries must have been in front of them. Yet he did not specify, saying, “Face east or face west.” Are the two luminaries not either in the east or in the west? It must be so. This indicates that we know, and Allah is the Greatest. The prohibition against facing the two luminaries has no basis; it is not permissible, and there is no harm in doing so. Yes.
