Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If turning one’s head, O Shaykh, is out of necessity, does the dislike of doing so in prayer disappear?
Answer:
If turning one’s head is out of necessity, it does not harm the prayer because it is for a need, such as turning to kill a snake or a scorpion, or to defend oneself. There is no harm in that, and turning one’s head during such an act does not harm the prayer. Yes.
