The ruling on wiping the face with the hands after supplication

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I am asking about wiping the face with the hands, and extending the hands when making du'a' (supplication). Is it rewarded?

Answer:
Yes, there is nothing wrong with wiping the face with the hands after du'a'; because there are hadiths regarding this, and although they are weak, they support one another, as some scholars of knowledge have mentioned. They indicate that there is nothing wrong with wiping the face with the hands. However, leaving it is better; leaving the wiping of the face with the hands is better, considering the weakness of the hadiths reported in this matter. But if someone does it, he is not to be rebuked for it. Yes.
