The Ruling on Responding to a Sneeze During the Sermon
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on responding to a sneeze during the khutbah?
Answer:
It is permissible, but one should not say it aloud. If someone sneezes and praises Allah, he should not respond to him aloud, but rather respond to him in a low voice. This is because he was commanded to do so, for the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded that when a person praises Allah, he should be responded to, and the command indicates obligation, but it should not be said aloud. Yes.
