The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, regarding responding to the sneezer more than three times if he does not praise Allah, is he responded to?
The Shaykh:
If he does not praise Allah, he is not responded to. He is only responded to if he praises Allah. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: So if he praises Allah, he is responded to. If he does not praise Allah, he does not deserve the response. Yes.
The questioner:
Is it three times, or once, or twice?
The Shaykh:
Once. And if it happens to him repeatedly, let him pray for his recovery. Yes.
