Is responding to a sneeze a collective obligation or an individual obligation?
The apparent meaning of the texts is that it is an individual obligation; the apparent meaning of the texts is that it is obligatory for the believer if he hears it. However, what is known among the scholars is that it is a confirmed recommended practice (sunnah muakkadah); but the apparent meaning of the commands is obligation; because the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded it.
