Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;font-size: 14pt\">Masks are important for you. Masks need to be worn for your protection and benefit of others. There is a hadith in our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.the-faith.com\/category\/prophet-muhammad\/prophet-manners\/\"><em>sunnah<\/em><\/a> where we learn about the prohibition of covering face during Prayer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;font-size: 14pt\">However, it is permissible to pray with the medical mask on \u2013 if you need to wear them always, as mandated by one&#8217;s profession.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;font-size: 14pt\">If, on the other hand, you are allowed to take them off while praying, then you should do so \u2013 if the mask covers the major part of your face.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;font-size: 14pt\">In case of necessity, however, you are excused. And you can still pray while wearing it. According to the rules of jurisprudence, where there is a hardship, the rigor of the law is relaxed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;font-size: 14pt\">For more information, watch this interesting talk with Sheikh Abu Eesa.<\/span><br \/>\n<span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"width: 0px;overflow: hidden;line-height: 0\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/p>\n<p>____________________________________<\/p>\n<p><em>Source: Faithiq Youtube Channel.\u00a0<\/em><a href='https:\/\/prayerinislam.com\/what-is-the-ruling-of-praying-in-a-medical-mask\/' target='_blank'>Soucre Link<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is the ruling of praying in a medical mask due to Covid-19?
