Question:
He says: Is it prescribed to wipe the face with the hands after making supplication?
Answer:
This is a matter of scholarly disagreement. There are hadiths regarding wiping the face, and there are hadiths regarding leaving it off. The hadiths that mention wiping are weak. If a person does it, he is not to be criticized for it, but if he leaves it off, that is better. If he leaves off the wiping, that is better, and if he does it, he is not to be criticized for it, considering the hadiths that were reported in this regard, which they said, even though they are weak, support one another and indicate that it is recommended. Yes.
