Is it permissible for a Muslim to close his/her eyes without any excuse while praying?
A Brief Description of the Question:
Is it permissible for a Muslim to close his/her eyes without any excuse while praying?
The Answer:
Closing eyes while praying is makrooh. In one of the hadiths, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said, “When you stand for prayer, do not close your eyes.''
It is Sunnah to look at the place of prostration, with closing eyes, this Sunnah will be abandoned. However, here what is makrooh is tanzihan makrooh that is it is not a great sin.
However, eyes can be closed in order to achieve khushoo and spiritual zest so that one can avoid looking at a thing which is not permissible or when there are things that may distract him/her from his/her prayer or with the aim of disconnecting him/her from visible things.
