Looking at the clock during salaah

Answered by 

Q: Will my salah break if I deliberately look at the clock to check the time without moving my head or chest?

Bismillaah

A: No. However, this is not in keeping to khushoo i.e. the devotion and concentration with which one is supposed to offer one’s salaah.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
