The Ruling on Praying with Closed Eyes
What is the ruling on praying with closed eyes according to the Hanafi school? And what is the ruling on praying in complete darkness?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: complete closing of the eyes during prayer is disliked for fear of harm, but in the dark, it is not disliked, and God knows best.
