The Ruling on Praying in Front of Fire and Firewood
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good and bless you. This is a listener to the program, Abu 'Ali, who says: We go out to the open fields on rainy days and in the winter, and we light a fire with firewood because the cold is severe. We pray in front of this firewood. Is this permissible, O Shaykh?
Answer:
It is disliked to face a fire. Pray in a place where there is no fire, or move the fire from in front of your qiblah to another place, and do not face it during prayer, for this is a disliked matter.
