Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is the prohibition of a person spitting in front of his face, or to his right, specific to prayer, or is it general for prayer and other times?
Answer:
It is general. Does a person spit in front of his face? That is bad manners. But he spits to his left, or into his sleeve, or into a handkerchief he has with him, or to his left on the ground if no one is with him. Yes.
