The questioner : What is the ruling on wiping the face with the hands after supplication?
The Shaykh : Some scholars hold that it is a recommended practice (sunnah), while the Shaykh al-Islam held that it is a religious innovation (bid'ah). This is based on the authenticity of the hadith reported on this matter. The Shaykh al-Islam said regarding the hadith reported on this matter: “It is fabricated”, meaning it is a lie attributed to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).
What I see in this matter is that if one wipes, he is not to be criticized, and if one does not wipe, he is not to be criticized. However, the one who does not wipe is closer to the Sunnah than the one who wipes. Yes, from the city, it is good, okay.
