<b>Guidance from the Hadith:</b><br> 1) The Prophet’s practical manners with regard to sneezing include putting the hand or clothes on the face. This serves a number of good purposes, including the following:<br> a. It protects those around the sneezing person, lest something harmful and contagious comes out with the sneeze and infects them.<br> b. This spares people any feeling of disgust from what comes out of the nose with sneezing.<br> 2) The Shariah honors the believer by its overall guidelines which he should observe towards himself and others.<br> 3) It is recommended to lower the sound of sneezing to avoid bothering those around.
