Question:
The Shaykh’s statement is more truthful than what is from Allah. What is the ruling on a person placing his fingers in his ears when he hears thunder?
Answer:
There is no harm in it. If the thunder affects him and he plugs his ears to protect himself from the danger or the effect it has on him, there is no harm. We do not know of any prohibition in this. Yes.
