Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: We see some of the worshippers on Friday in the Haram, and because of the intense heat, they take a fan and wave it in front of their face to cool the air and bring in fresh air. Is this from idle talk, or does it not affect the validity of the Friday prayer?
Answer:
This is disliked. They say it is disliked to fan oneself during the prayer. This is among the things that are disliked in the prayer, but it does not invalidate the prayer.
