Praise be to Allah, and blessings and peace be upon the Messenger of Allah.
Shaykh Ibn Jibrin (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
“If a person prays with a mirror in front of him, his prayer is valid even if he is facing it and can see himself in it. But he has to lower his gaze and not look at it. He should keep away from it and from everything that may distract him during his prayer.” (Al-Lu’lu’ Al-Makin Min Fatawa Al-Shaykh Ibn Jibrin, 103)
