The means people use to heat their homes, where the fire is contained, does the hadith (that this fire is an enemy to you, so extinguish it) apply to them?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh: Yes.

The questioner : Peace be upon you and Allah's mercy.

The Shaykh : And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.

The questioner : We have six, if Allah wills.

The Shaykh : What Allah willed.

The questioner : The first is whether... these known fireplaces that are in homes, where people warm themselves and the fire is contained, do they fall under the noble Prophetic hadith that commands
Fire is your enemy. So, put it out أن هذه النار عدوٌّ لكم ؛ فأطفِئُوها
Riyad as-Salihin 1653
that is, at night when you sleep.

The Shaykh : They do not fall under it.

The questioner : They do not fall under it.

The Shaykh: No.

The questioner : Do you have any evidence in mind?

The Shaykh : The evidence is that in the past, they had nothing but the oil lamp with a wick. The Messenger mentioned in some authentic hadiths that a mouse would come and pull the wick, potentially burning the house down with its inhabitants. But here, this is absolutely inconceivable.

The questioner : Because the fire is contained.

The Shaykh : Yes, it is contained. And secondly, there is no wick, and no wick that could be pulled in one way or another.

The questioner : So that it spreads outside, meaning.

The Shaykh: Yes.
