What is the ruling on praying in such darkness that you can barely see your hands?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The prayer is valid if its conditions, pillars, and obligations are fulfilled. Light is not a condition for it, unless the darkness causes a fear that distracts the worshiper and removes their devotion, in which case the prayer becomes disliked.
