Question:
Assalamu alaikum dear eShaykh staff,
I hope this message reaches you in best iman and health!
I have a question regardings mirrors. For over a year now, I do not like to have a mirror near me during prayer even if it is behind me. I just feel uncomfortable to have a mirror near me during prayer or reading Quran.
Is there any reason for this?
jazakumullahu khayran! wassalam.
Answer:
`Alaykum Salam,
It is good to fight self-display but do not let it reach the level of waswasa (whispering). The whole sky is a mirror and every believer is a mirror so don’t worry about a piece of glass which Allah placed at your service.
