The Ruling of Using a Handkerchief While Praying
Respected scholars, as-salamu `alaykum. I have a question that has been bothering me for years. I believe I suffer from anxiety that manifests in extreme sweating on my head. During salah (ritual Prayer), usually when in congregation, I cannot control the sweating and it literally drips off my head and onto my face. Is it permissible for me to carry a handkerchief with me during salah to wipe the sweat? Jazakum Allahu Khayran.
