Analogy of the bedroom with the place where Satan was present
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Regarding the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when he slept, he said about this place that Satan was present with us in it. He says: If a person sleeps in his bedroom and misses the prayer, is this analogous to that, such that he should leave this bedroom to pray in another room?
Answer:
No, this is something Allah revealed to His Messenger. People do not reveal to people from their homes that there is a Satan in them. No, but Allah revealed that to the Messenger, so he informed about it (peace and blessings be upon him). However, the places known to be for the Shayatins, which they dig, such as restrooms and bathrooms, one does not pray in them. Yes.
