Glasses

[Beardo]

Do you take off your glasses during Salaah? Why or Why Not? SHOULD you take them off?

I personally keep'em on.

I don't usually wear glasses but the times I do, I take them off for salah. They might get damaged in sujood.

When I saw you as the most recent poster on this thread, I thought maybe you were going to insult me for useless questioning again. :exhausted:

But is there any spiritual reason you take it off? :X I typically always have my glasses on. I heard it makes your eyes worse though, because of the whole dependency issue. Allahu Alam.

Not really. Just don't want them to break. :><:

i keep mines on.. mum takes theirs off ... never thort it wud be an issue???

[cat eyes]

why do you keep them on? thats a bit stupid if you dont mind me saying

[Lonely Gal]

cos i have really bad eyesite and am always wearing them, never thort to take em off to be honest

[cat eyes]

i wear cute little pink and black glasses but i only need them for reading but i think it would be disrespect to leave them on while praying

[Lonely Gal]

why? (just wondering cos i've never thort it'd be a disrespect/bad thing)

[Alpha Dude]

I don't see anything disrespectful about it.

The only issue is whether they would get damaged.

[cat eyes]

well once you start been to laid back about wearing certain things during salah people then believe they can wear anything during salah

personally i dont see why a person should wear them unless hes learning the salah and has to read from a book

btw can anyone find fatwa for this?

[Dagless]

They might get damaged in sujood.

This is the reason I take mine off at home.
At the mosque, however, I leave them on because its too crowded, and even putting them on the floor in front of me is risky.
Might be time to get contacts.

[Banu_Hashim]

If they prevent you from touching your nose and forehead to the ground, then yeah you should take them off... but otherwise what's the problem? Most people, including me from today (finally got glasses!) take them off because it's more comfortable and allows you to concentrate on your salaah more effectively.

http://www.islam-qa.com/en/ref/98466

http://www.islam.tc/cgi-bin/askimam/...0964&act=print

They both say it is permissible.

I don't think wearing them would usually prevent your forehead from touching the floor fully in sujood but IslamQA goes on to say that it would be impermissible to wear if they do.

[Danah]

When I was wearing glasses in the past I used to take them off because I just find it uncomfortable to have them on when I am in sujuud situation, so it's just my personal preferences.
My brother don't take them off.

[cat eyes]

haha unless there big thick geeky glasses then ud have a problem touching the floor

[Life_Is_Short]

I take them off. This is because they are loose and often normally fall off when i look down.

I need new glasses. :X The feeling of not being able to see while praying is frustrating but they are uncomfortable.

[GuCcI]

I don't wear my glasses all the time.. well hardly ever, but if I am then I take them off, put them in my bag and then pray. I think it makes better sense that way. Leaving them on the floor is risky because someone can just back up and then smash them and I guess hurt their foot. As for men who don't carry handbags, its better that you leave them on :p

[marwen]

Do you take off your glasses during Salaah? Why or Why Not? SHOULD you take them off?

I think it's ok to wear glasses when praying if there is no risk they fall down or get smashed. I don't see any disrespect, unless you're praying with sunglasses :shade: that will be ridiculous. ;D

loool... i can imagine someone praying with a custom made italian suite and some shady sunglasses.

[CosmicPathos]

I dont feel the need to take my glasses off. Sometimes I do because it feels more relax as the pressure from my nose is lifted. But thats about it. I dont see how wearing a glasses while praying is haraam.

lolz. Gucci and Aviators.

[Beardo]

I love my glasses. Black rimmed all over. I don't like those half rimmed glasses. Alhamdulillah, after 3 years of glass/soul searching, I found the pair that I love most. Insha'Allah, I hope it lasts a long time, considering it cost just as much as it looks. >_>

[Innocent Soul]

Assalamualaikum

I wear them mostly when I am praying sometimes I take it off. Nothing is wrong in wearing them while praying .

[ardianto]

I always take my glasses off when salat in masjid and put it on my sajadah. Of course I always watch it.

Might be time to get contacts.

Contact lenses is not recommended for man who has outdoor activities. I wore it when I was in UNI, I thought it could gave me a freedom in sport. But I was wrong, it could not used in dusty places. So, I wear plastic lenses glasses until now.

[Güven]

When I'm sleepy or tired I take them on, so I could concentrate more.

Ok then, maybe time for laser surgery?

[cat eyes]

so i see theres lots of geeky glasses people on the forum:X

[Danah]

I second that, my life became much easier after the surgery Alhumdulilah..it needs a lot of courage to do it though

[ardianto]

I consider it, but I am not so sure about it safety. Also, my eyes condition is not so bad, I can drive a car without glasses.

[Dagless]

So can I; its cleaning the blood off the bumpers afterwards which is the problem.

[Nokiacrazi]

cos i have really bad eyesite and am always wearing them, never thort to take em off to be honest

To be honest when in salah, I wouldn't think it would matter that you need to see. I personally if I wore glasses alhumdulilah, then I would take them off.

Going back to what I was saying, you would think that while praying you are concentrating, and so to have clear vision is irrelevant.

I don't know about anyone else, but I always try to close my eyes, as it helps me to concentrate.

Seems like it ;D

LOL

I think I need to take my glasses on more often when I drive because I crashed my car I don't know how many times. :skeleton:

Im planning to do a laser surgery though, so I can get rid of these glasses.

[زهراء]

I take them off most of the time. Depends on where I perform Salaah

[Danah]

I advice you to watch a video of the surgery so you will have a prior idea about how it will be.

[cat eyes]
