What should a person doif he sneezes during the Jumu'ah khutbah
(sermon)? Should he say "al-hamdu Lillah"?.
Praise be to Allaah.
If a person who is listening to the khutbah (sermon) on Friday
sneezes, he should say "al-hamdu Lillah (praise be to Allah)" quietly
to himself. If anyone hears him, it is not permissible for him to say
to him "Yarhamuk Allah (may Allah have mercy on you)".
It says in al-Mudawwanah (1/230): Maalik said concerning someone who
sneezes when the imam is delivering the khutbah that he should say
"al-hamdu Lillah" quietly to himself. No one should say "Yarhamuk
Allah" to the one who sneezed when the imam is delivering the khutbah.
End quote.
Al-Mirdaawi (may Allah have mercy on him) said:It is permissible for
him to say Ameen to the du'aa' and to say "al-hamdulillah" silently if
he sneezes. End quote from al-Insaaf, 2/418
Shaykh Ibn Baaz (may Allah have mercy on him) said: If he sneezes, he
has to praise Allah (say "al-hamdu Lillah") to himself and not raise
his voice.
End quote from Majmoo'al-Fataawa, 12/411
Shaykh Ibn 'Uthaymeen (may Allah have mercy on him) said: If a member
of the congregation sneezes onFriday, he should say "al-hamdulillah"
silently. If he says it out loud and the people around him hear him,
it is not permissible for them to say "Yarhamuk Allah" to him.
End quote from ash-Sharh al-Mumti', 5/109
And Allah knows best.
