Question

I keep my eyes closed while standing and sitting most of the time in prayer. Because it creates concentration in my prayers and I am sure of Khushu-Khuzur. From a religious point of view, will it harm my prayers? 8211985315


Answer

- حامداومصلياومسلما، بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم -

It is makrooh to pray with one's eyes closed during the whole prayer. But yes, if one closes his eyes occasionally and opens them occasionally to create concentration in the prayer, then the prayer will not be makrooh. For example, if one closes his eyes and recites Qiraat and opens his eyes while bowing, then it is permissible. However, one cannot keep one's eyes closed during the entire prayer. Will have to open occasionally. Otherwise it will be Makrooh because it is against the Sunnah. 4466518668
