Wiping the face with the hands after supplication
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We will see what Allah does for you. The Honorable Shaykh says: What is the correct practice reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) after he finishes his supplication? Does he wipe his face with his hands, or does he lower them directly?
Answer:
There are hadiths regarding wiping the face with the hands, but they are weak and not relied upon. However, if one wipes his face, he is not to be criticized, and if he leaves off the wiping, that is better.
