Prayer in front of a stove or fire
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Shaykh: This questioner, Abu 'Abdullah, says: We go out to the open fields in the winter days and we light a fire or wood, and the cold is severe, so we pray in front of the stove or in front of the wood. Is that permissible?
Answer:
It is not permissible. I mean, it is disliked. The prayer is valid, but it is disliked to face the fire in prayer; because this involves imitating the Zoroastrians who worship fire. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh, and may He bless you and your knowledge, and make Islam and the Muslims benefit from you.
