❖ Performing Salah While Wearing a Watch with a Picture ❖
✍ Written by: Imran Ayub Lahori
✦ Ruling on Wearing a Watch Containing a Picture During Salah
📘 Shaykh Ibn Bāz رحمه الله explains:
- If the image is hidden inside the watch and not visible, there is no harm in praying with it.
- However, if the image is on the outer surface or becomes visible upon opening the watch, then prayer is not valid while wearing it.
✿ Prophetic Instruction
The Prophet ﷺ said to ʿAlī رضي الله عنه:
“لا تدع صورة إلا طمستها“
“Do not leave any image without defacing it.”
📚 Fatāwā Ibn Bāz (Urdu Translation): 1/78
