Ruling on passing items to a person in need during prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
What is the ruling on passing items during prayer? For example, if a young boy asks his father to hand him a pen and keep him occupied during prayer, or if a person sneezes during prayer due to severe cold and you notice he wants a handkerchief, and you feel he needs help, am I permitted to give it to him?
Passing items is a movement during prayer, and movement during prayer for a need is permissible. So, if a boy next to you cries out and you give him something to occupy him, there is no harm. Likewise, if the person next to you needs a handkerchief, or if you yourself need one, there is no harm; because anything done for a need is permissible.
