Wiping the body with the hand after the morning and evening dhikr
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The questioner says: Some people wipe their bodies with their hands.
The Shaykh:
Hmm?
The questioner:
Some people rub their bodies with their hands, yes, after the morning and evening dhikr. Is this action part of the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?
The Shaykh:
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to do this when going to sleep. He would cup his hands together, blow into them, recite the three surahs—Surat al-Ikhlas, Surat al-Falaq, and Surat al-Nas—and then blow into his hands and wipe his head, face, and the front of his body with them, may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him. As for in the morning, I do not know if this is reported. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
