The ruling on wiping the eyes upon hearing the adhan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
When we hear the adhan, we wipe our eyes with the inner side of the tips of our index fingers after kissing them. What is your opinion on that?
We have found a hadith in the book *Fiqh al-Sunnah* and in the book *al-Hashiyyah* in which the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) encourages Abu Bakr al-Siddiq to do so.
Answer:
This has no basis; it has no basis. Wiping the eyes with the tips of the index fingers when the adhan is called has no basis. Rather, this is a religious innovation. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good. What is your opinion on that hadith mentioned in *Fiqh al-Sunnah*?
The Shaykh: It is not authentic. Yes.
The presenter: The hadith is not authentic?
The Shaykh: It is not authentic. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.
