Tinting the windows on the qibla wall
Question
We as the trustees of the musjid wish to tint the musjid windows. Is it correct for us to tint the windows on the qibla wall, as this will cause a mirror effect at night and might distract the musallis?
Answer
If this is going to distract the musallis in their salaah, then do not tint the windows on the qibla wall side.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
