<b>Guidance from the Hadiths:</b><br> 1) It is prohibited to leave a burning fire in houses when going to bed lest it should set the house on fire.<br> 2) It is recommended to cover food vessels and close water tanks to prevent insects, dirt, epidemics, or anything harmful from falling therein.<br> 3) It is recommended to shut the doors before going to bed.<br> 4) One of the means of protection against the devil’s cunning plots is to regularly recite the Shariah-approved supplications.<br> <br> <b>Benefit:</b><br> There is nothing wrong in leaving electric lamps with dim light turned on during the night. The reason behind the prohibition above is the fear from burning, a possibility that does not exist with electric lamps, and Allah knows best.
