Is it better to spit into a handkerchief or a garment?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Is spitting into a handkerchief better than into a garment?
The Shaykh : Is it better to spit into a garment or a handkerchief? That is your question. It is better in a handkerchief, because it is hidden in the handkerchief; a person puts it in his pocket. But in his garment, it is a problem, especially if a person has a lot of phlegm. Some people—may Allah grant us and you health—always have this coming out of them, so nothing is useful for them except a handkerchief.
