هَلْ یَکْرَهُ النَّظَرُ فِی المِرآةِ بِاللَّیْلِ؟

✅Answer: Please pay attention to the following narrations:

1 In a part of the well-known 'Ziyarat Al-Yasin' we say, addressing our Master Imam Zaman, peace be upon him:

فَالْحَقُّ مَا رَضِیتُمُوهُ وَ الْبَاطِلُ مَا سَخِطْتُمُوهُ وَ الْمَعْرُوفُ مَا أَمَرْتُمْ بِهِ وَ الْمُنْکَرُ مَا نَهَیْتُمْ عَنْهُ

Translation: So the truth is what you find good and falsehood is what you are displeased with and dislike, and the good deed is what you command and the evil deed is what you forbid!

📚 Al-Ihtijaj, pp. 275-277

2 قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِين لَأَنْسُبَنَّ الْإِسْلَامَ نِسْبَةً لَمْ يَنْسُبْهُ أَحَدٌ قَبْلِي وَ لَا يَنْسُبُهُ أَحَدٌ بَعْدِي إِلَّا بِمِثْلِ ذَلِكَ إِنَّ الْإِسْلَامَ هُوَ التَّسْلِيمُ وَ التَّسْلِيمَ هُوَ الْيَقِينُ وَ الْيَقِينَ هُوَ التَّصْدِيقُ وَ التَّصْدِيقَ هُوَ الْإِقْرَارُ وَ الْإِقْرَارَ هُوَ الْعَمَلُ وَ الْعَمَلَ هُوَ الْأَدَاءُ إِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ لَمْ يَأْخُذْ دِينَهُ عَنْ رَأْيِهِ وَ لَكِنْ أَتَاهُ مِنْ رَبِّهِ فَأَخَذَ بِهِ

📚 Al-Kafi, vol. 2, p. 46

Amir al-Mu'minin, peace be upon him, said: I will explain the lineage of Islam in a way that no one before me has explained and no one after me will explain except in a similar way:

Indeed, Islam is submission and submission is certainty and certainty is confirmation and confirmation is acknowledgment and acknowledgment is action and action is execution. Indeed, the believer does not take his religion from his own opinion, but rather it comes to him from his Lord and he acts upon it!

3 قَالَ الصَّادِقُ : كُلُّ شَيْ ءٍ مُطْلَقٌ حَتَّى يَرِدَ فِيهِ نَهْيٌ

📚 Al-Faqih, vol. 1, p. 317

Imam Sadiq, peace be upon him, said: Everything is 'mutlaq' (unrestricted) until a prohibition is given for it!

✅ According to the above narrations and others, what is 'munkar' (evil), 'makrooh' (disliked), and a sin is what the Infallibles have forbidden, and as long as a usable text from the Infallibles regarding the dislike of looking in the mirror at night does not reach us, we cannot consider it among the disliked and forbidden things, and since no specific or general narration has been reported in the common and authentic Shia sources regarding the dislike of looking in the mirror at night, there is no prohibition or dislike attached to it, and no religious prohibition can be attributed to it.

✅ In compliance with the command of our Master in the hadith 'and increase the supplication for the hastening of the advent', we say very frequently:

اللَّهُمَّ فَصَلِّ عَلَی مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَجِّلْ لِوَلِیِّکَ الْفَرَجَ وَ الْعَافِیَةَ وَ النَّصْرَ
