Question:
Honorable Shaykh, the questioner asks: What is the ruling on wearing a mask during prayer out of necessity?
Answer:
Covering the mouth during prayer is disliked except out of necessity. If one needs to do so, he covers his mouth and there is no dislike. If he does not need to, it is disliked, whether he covers it with the end of his headscarf or his shemagh, or with a mask. This is what is meant by covering the mouth.
