Blessing the sneezer and making du'a for him when the sneezing is repeated
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is there a report from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) that we say to the one who sneezes for the third time, “May Allah heal you”?
Answer:
Yes. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded the response to the sneezer, and this is a right of a Muslim over another Muslim: to say “May Allah have mercy on you” when he sneezes and praises Allah. If he praises Allah, you respond to him by saying “May Allah have mercy on you.” This is obligatory. Responding to the sneezer who praises Allah is an obligatory command. If this repeats from him three times or more, this is evidence that he is afflicted with an illness, and so one prays for his healing. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
