Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Is inserting a finger into the nose considered a permissible movement or a disliked one?
The Shaykh : No, this is among the disliked actions in prayer, unless there is a reason, such as if his nose is bleeding and he is holding it. Also, from the perspective of etiquette, it is not appropriate; people feel disgusted and repulsed when they see a person insert his finger into his nose.
The questioner : For example, if there is dryness in it.
The Shaykh : The point is, if it is for a need, there is nothing wrong with it. But if he is praying and has dryness in his nose and inserts his finger, where does that come from...?
