Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If a person sneezes while praying, does he praise Allah, or how does he do it?
Answer:
Yes, he praises Allah verbally. It is established that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) heard someone sneeze and praise Allah, so he said: or as he (peace and blessings be upon him) said. There is no harm in this; because praise is of the same kind as the acts of prayer. So if he praises Allah when he sneezes, he is following the Sunnah. Yes.
The presenter: Even during prayer?
The Shaykh: Yes.
The presenter: But not the response to the sneeze?
The Shaykh: He does not respond to the sneeze, no; because the response to the sneeze is speech between human beings, and it involves addressing the person (may Allah have mercy on you). This is speech between human beings. He does not respond to the sneeze. Whoever is in prayer does not respond to the sneeze. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good, and may He benefit us with your knowledge.
