Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Responding to a sneeze during the Friday sermon?
One does not respond to a sneeze. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "If you say to your companion: 'Be quiet and listen' when the imam is delivering the Khutbah, you have engaged in idle speech."إذا قلت لصاحبك أنصت فقد لغوت
Sunan an-Nasa'i 1577Sahih (Darussalam)
So one does not respond to a sneeze, nor return a greeting.
