What is the ruling on the whispering of prostration to other than Allah during prayer, despite seeking refuge and spitting?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
What you find in your heart of the devil's whispers () aims to come between you and your prayer, for prayer is the pillar of religion and the second pillar of Islam. So strive to rid yourself of these whispers by supplicating and humbling yourself before Allah to ward off the devil's cunning and whispers from you. Allah Almighty said: "Indeed, he has no authority over those who have believed and who rely upon their Lord." So persist in performing prayer with humility and presence of heart, while perfecting its conditions, pillars, and obligations, in addition to the supererogatory prayers.
