Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: Is it permissible for the one praying to close his eyes because his humility is greater in that state?

Answer:
If there is something in front of him that distracts him, he closes his eyes so that he is not distracted. But if there is nothing in front of him that distracts him, it is disliked to close the eyes.
