Folding the Musalla after Salaah? (1/2)

· 3 Jumada I 1435 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

Q. Is it true that after praying on the Musalla, you should fold it and not leave it open. If it is left open, Shaitaan comes to read namaz on the Musalla

Answer

There is no truth to this. Shaitaan does not pray Salaah. The Musalla (prayer mat) may be left open after praying or it may be folded. Yes, as a mark of respect, if it is feared that the Musalla will be soiled due to being left open, it should rather be folded and kept away respectfully.

Nasihah: Feeding one’s spouse is a form of Sadaqah for which one will be rewarded:

Sayyiduna Sa’ad bin Abi Waqqas (Radiyallahu Anhu) reports that the Prophet of Allah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said: “Whatever you spend seeking the pleasure of Allah, you will be rewarded for it no matter how little and insignificant it may seem; even if it is a morsel that you feed your wife.” (Sahih al-Bukhari, Hadith #: 56)
