Are we permitted to perform prayer in front of a mirror ?

My question is, can you offer Salat in front of a mirror? In front of a mirror? No, no, in front of a mirror. You know, the question… Have you understood this question? It’s very interesting. She says, can you say a prayer keeping a mirror before you? No, no. What an idea! How would it strike you? There are wardrobes. What? There are wardrobes.

There are long mirrors in them. If those mirrors attract your attention, and disturb you, or if they are in such a way that you have your own reflection in front of you, then it is a very dangerous thing. If you address God with that, if He sees you, He will see you in front of Him. So, how will you offer Salat? In front of a mirror. In front of a mirror? Then you won’t be able to offer Salat in front of a mirror. So, if you pay attention to it… Pay attention to anything.

Whether it is a colourful cloth, I sometimes read in the middle room, there is a colourful calendar there. And it is happening all the time, that I take it off, I put it on the third wall, I put it on the third wall. It is happening all the time. I didn’t remember it. Thank God, you reminded me.
