The Sunnah in saying "May Allah have mercy on you" to the sneezer after the third sneeze
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
His Eminence the Shaykh: Is it obligatory to say "May Allah have mercy on you" to the sneezer in the same manner, even if the sneezing is repeated three times or more?
If he sneezes three times and you are saying "May Allah have mercy on you" to him each time, then say to him after the third: May Allah grant you well-being; because that indicates a cold,Say: May Allah grant you well-being, you have a cold,And you only say: May Allah grant you well-being, and you say: you have a cold; so that he does not assume that you prayed for him that Allah the Exalted would grant him well-being from a sin he committed or a transgression he did,She says: you have a cold, informing him that you only asked for his well-being for this reason.
