Question:
What is the ruling on wiping the face after supplication?
Answer:
There are weak hadiths regarding this, and some scholars, such as al-Hafiz Ibn Hajar (may Allah have mercy on him), mentioned that they are of the category of hasan li-ghayrihi (good due to supporting evidence) and that they reinforce one another. Therefore, if one wipes, there is no blame on him. However, it is better to leave it out, because the authentic hadiths do not include wiping. The established hadiths in al-Bukhari and Muslim, or in one of them, do not include wiping. Wiping is only mentioned in some weak hadiths whose chains of narration are subject to criticism. Therefore, leaving it out is preferable. And if one wipes, there is no blame on him, if Allah wills, because a group of scholars said that the hadiths regarding wiping are of the category of hasan li-ghayrihi. Yes.
