The questioner:
Your Excellency the Shaykh, may Allah bless you and your knowledge. What is your guidance regarding a person who blows his nose and spits into a handkerchief with a loud noise in the mosque, causing disgust among the worshippers? And are the angels afflicted by this, given that he is able to wipe his nose without making an ugly sound until he leaves the mosque?

Yes, he should not be rude to the mosque or to the worshippers, but rather he should observe good etiquette in the mosque with the worshippers and his brothers, and not do an action or perform a deed that people find repulsive. Yes.
The questioner:
And are the angels afflicted by that?
The Shaykh:
Yes, the angels are afflicted by what afflicts a human being. Yes.

May Allah reward you, Your Eminence the Shaykh
