Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Some of the people praying behind the imam, after raising their hands in supplication, wipe their hands. Is there evidence for this?
Answer:
Weak hadiths have been reported regarding wiping the face with the hands after supplication, but they are weak. Some scholars say that they strengthen one another, indicating that it is recommended to wipe the face with the hands after supplication. Others say no, that they are not suitable for citation as long as they are weak. The matter is broad in this regard: one who wipes his face is not to be criticized, and one who leaves it off is not to be criticized, though not wiping is the stronger position. Yes.
