The ruling on responding to a sneeze during prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Our brother is asking about the ruling on responding to a sneeze during prayer?

Answer:
One does not respond to a sneeze during prayer. If someone sneezes, no one responds to him, and the people do not respond to him, because he is not permitted to speak. Responding to a sneeze is part of people's speech, "May Allah have mercy on you." The one praying does not speak it, nor does he respond to it either. It is said: "May Allah have mercy on you." Yes, but he praises Allah in his heart. He praises Allah.

The presenter: The one who sneezes praises Allah.

The Shaykh: Yes.

The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
