Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: Is it permissible for me to spit over my shoulder and say, “I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan,” when Satan whispers to me during prayer, even if someone is next to me?
Answer:
No. If someone is next to you, do not spit on the person next to you, or on the person to your left; do not spit on them. Instead, spit into a handkerchief or something you have with you. Never spit in the mosque, even if no one is present. Spitting on the carpet in the mosque is a sin, as mentioned in the hadith. So, if you need to, spit into a handkerchief. Yes.
