Ruling on saying alhamdulillah after sneezing during prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
A woman named Fatimah Mahmoud Ahmad sent us a letter from the Iraqi Republic, saying: I hope you will answer these questions of mine: I read in one of the books that a person who sneezes while in prayer is permitted to praise Allah and does not have to repeat his prayer. Is this correct? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer: Yes, it is correct. It is established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he heard a man sneeze and praise Allah after the sneeze. So he said to him—after the prayer: “Indeed, I saw such and such of the angels, all of them competing to see which of them would write it down.” And he did not disapprove of that from him. This indicates that if a person sneezes in prayer and praises Allah, there is no blame on him for that. So what is prescribed for him is to praise Allah, and that does not harm him. Yes.
