What is the ruling on distractions that are present during prayer?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : For example, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed inside the Ka'bah, where the horns of the ram that our Lord (Mighty and Majestic) had accepted as a ransom for Isma'il from being slaughtered were hung. The polytheists had inherited this, and the two horns were hanging on the inner wall of the Ka'bah. When the Messenger (peace be upon him) entered to pray, he ordered that the two horns be covered. He ordered that they be covered. Similarly, in another hadith, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to A'ishah: , or: . Also, when he prayed, he said (peace be upon him): Mishkat al-Masabih 757, and in a narration: . It was a hanging cloth, green, white, and blue, and so on. . So anything that distracts should not be in the place where one prays. Anything that distracts, anything that distracts the one praying from his prayer in his place of prayer, nothing of that should be there, let alone in the mosques that were built specifically for the remembrance of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). Is that clear?
