سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يُصَلِّي وَ السِّرَاجُ مَوْضُوعٌ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فِي الْقِبْلَةِ فَقَالَ لَا يَصْلُحُ لَهُ أَنْ يَسْتَقْبِلَ النَّارَ وَ رُوِيَ أَيْضاً أَنَّهُ لَا بَأْسَ بِهِ لِأَنَّ الَّذِي يُصَلِّي لَهُ أَقْرَبُ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ ذَلِكَ.

16. Muhammad has narrated from al-‘Amrakiy from Ali ibn Ja‘far who has said the following: “I once asked abu al-Hassan (a.s.), about a man who performs Salah (prayer) with a lamp placed in his front in the direction of al-Qiblah (al-Ka‘bah). He (the Imam) said, ‘It is not proper for him to face fire.’ It is also narrated that it is not an offense because the One for whom Salah (prayer) is performed is closer to one (person performing Salah (prayer)).”’
