Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on listening to religious programs while performing voluntary prayer, such as listening to *Nur 'ala al-Darb* while performing the Witr prayer?
Answer:
No, this is not permissible. The one who prays, whether it is a voluntary prayer or an obligatory one, does not listen to anything. He focuses on his prayer and turns off the radio, silences the radio, turns off the television while he is praying, so that nothing distracts him. Yes.
