Placing fingers in the ears during prayer when children are screaming
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: When I pray and I hear the screaming of children and the disturbance, I put my fingers in my ears and complete my prayer. Is this permissible?
Answer:
It is better to leave it. She should place her hands on her chest, as this is the recommended practice. If that is difficult for her and she fears that she will not complete the prayer or perform it properly, she should break off the prayer until the children are quiet, then return to the prayer from the beginning.
As for if she is able to complete it calmly, she should complete it without needing to put her fingers in her ears, but rather by placing her hands on her chest. And praise be to Allah. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you, O Shaykh.
