Question<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Is Salah permissible wearing a mask?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Answer:<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It is makruh for men (disliked) to cover the face by wearing a mask or by any other method,i.e. covering the nose and mouth whilst in Salaat.[1]<\/a> Abu Hurayra (r.a.) states that The Prophet (s.a.w.) prohibited \u201cSadl\u201d in Salaat and prohibited a man from covering his mouth (in Salaat)[2]<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If a person has a valid excuse, then it would be totally fine to wear a mask during Salaat, such an excuse which prevents harm[3]<\/a> to oneself or others, or used as precautionary methods such as the Covid 19 guidelines. A valid excuse may include allergies, preventing the spread of disease, or advice from a medical expert.<\/span><\/p>\n
