Question:
If a person is performing the prayer, is it permissible for him to listen to the radio, for example?
Answer:
No, the one praying must focus on his prayer, and he should not listen to anything except the recitation of the imam. Allah the Exalted said:[Al-A'raf 7:204] Imam Ahmad (may Allah have mercy on him) said that this verse was revealed regarding the prayer. Therefore, the one praying does not listen to anything except the recitation of his imam, nor does he listen to another reciter, or to the radio or anything else, because this distracts him from his prayer. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.
