Etiquettes of Sneezing

The etiquettes of sneezing

When a person sneezes they should say:

Al-hamdu lillah

("All praises and thanks are to Allah")

And the companion of the person who sneezes should say in reply:

Yarhamu kallah (if the person who sneezed was a man)

Yarhamu killah (if the person who sneezed was a woman)

("May Allah have mercy upon you")

Note: This reply is to be said only if the person who sneezed said "al-hamdu lillah", otherwise the companion should not say the above.

And the person who sneezed should in turn reply to their companion:

Yahdeekum Allahu wa yuslihu baalakum

("May Allah guide you and set your affairs in order")
