Facing the fire and the heater in prayer.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Some people, especially when the weather is severe and cold, sometimes have to light a fire. This fire may be in front of them during prayer, and they may have a heater in front of them. Should they place it in the direction of their prayer?
Answer:
Answer: The scholars say that it is disliked to face the fire, even if it is a lamp. One should not face the fire; rather, he should move away from it and not place it in front of him, because this is imitating the Zoroastrians who worship the fire.
