Is it from the Sunnah to make du'a after the prayer and to wipe over the face?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks and says: Is it from the Sunnah to make du'a after the prayer and to wipe over the face, because I see some people doing that? And what is the ruling on this action after the qunut? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
There are reports regarding wiping over the face that contain weakness. A group of scholars, including Al-Hafiz Ibn Hajar, graded them as hasan (good). He said that their various chains strengthen one another and that they are hasan. So, if one wipes, there is no harm. However, the authentic reports do not include wiping. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) delivered the Friday sermon and asked for rain, and he did not wipe. Likewise, he asked for rain in the prayer for rain and did not wipe. It is not reported that he (peace and blessings be upon him) wiped. So, if one leaves it, that is better. And if one wipes, there is no blame on him, if Allah wills, because the sum of the reports is hasan, as Al-Hafiz (may Allah have mercy on him) Ibn Hajar said. Yes.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good.
