Question:
Finally, this questioner, Umm Abdullah, has a question. She says: What is the ruling on praying in front of a heater and fire on cold days? Honorable Shaykh. By Allah, the heater, I mean, it is not fire. If it is not, if it is not…
Answer:
…electricity, like a light bulb. A light bulb that is in front of the one praying is not a problem. Likewise, the heater is a light bulb; they call it a light bulb or a flashlight, so it is of the same kind. May Allah reward you and bless you.
