Question:
Wiping the face after supplication?
Answer:
Several hadiths have been reported regarding this. Al-Hafiz (may Allah have mercy on him) said that, taken together, they constitute good hadiths. Therefore, there is nothing wrong with wiping, but it is better to do it sometimes and not others. This is because it is not established that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did so by his own action, but he directed to it in several hadiths that support one another.
