The ruling on closing the eyes during prayer to increase humility
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, in order to increase my humility, I close my eyes during the prayer. Is my action correct?
Answer:
Do not close your eyes unless there is something in front of you that distracts you from the prayer. If there is nothing in front of you that distracts you from the prayer, then do not do it, because this is a characteristic of the Jews who close their eyes in worship during their prayer. Yes.
