He suffers from hayfever and wipes his nose during prayer
Question: 11493
Answer
Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.
You have to prevent this (mucus) from falling onto the carpets in the mosque, even if you have to put a cloth or handkerchief over your nose, lest you offend other people. Keep taking care of your nose by wiping it. We ask Allah to grant you healing soon.
