The Shaykh’s discussion on hanging curtains on the wall down to the floor, which serves no purpose.

The Shaykh : Covering the wall is something the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did not command, and this phrasing is not a text prohibiting it, but rather it falls under the general prohibition of wastefulness in the Shari'ah. This type of wall covering has a reality today, and it is rare, for example, a carpet hung on the wall for decoration, and there is no need to prevent exposure, or prevent the sun, or similar benefits. But the thing that has become the fashion of the present age, and this fashion has seeped into the homes of many Muslims whose affairs revolve around one of two things: either ignorance of the Shari'ah rulings, or laxity in adhering to and applying them, and both may be present, either ignorance and laxity.

This is what should not be the case. The curtain must be in proportion to the light. For example, if the light is two meters, they should leave two meters plus three or four centimeters, for example, out of caution or desire, and so on. But down to the floor!

The student : Yes, our Shaykh, may Allah reward you with good. Yes, you said: in one degree! Yes, our Shaykh.

The Shaykh : So it should be observed, and we should not be among the wasteful, .
