Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Also, among the questions that came in, this questioner says: Sometimes, when I am at school or work or in any public place, someone sneezes but does not say alhamdulillah (praise be to Allah). Should I respond to him and say to him, may Allah have mercy on you?

Answer:
No. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
when he sneezes and praises God say, ‘God have mercy on you’وَإِذَا عَطَسَ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ فَشَمِّتْهُ
