The ruling on facing electric heaters during prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Abu 'Adil says: We are in one of the villages, and during the days of severe cold, there are, Shaykh Salih, several electric heaters in front of us, so we pray with them in front of us.
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with that; because these are electric, not fire, which is what is forbidden to face during prayer. These are like light bulbs; you also face chandeliers and light bulbs. These are lamps and heating devices.
