Question:
Also, is there any harm for one who sometimes wears masks? Is there anyone who is prevented from wearing masks during Hajj?
Answer:
For a man, there is no harm in covering his face, whether he is sleeping or awake; he has done nothing wrong in that. What is forbidden is covering his head with something that clings to it; that is what is forbidden for a man. As for covering his face, there is no objection to it, and wearing a mask is permissible. Yes.
