Saying Alhamdulillah And Yarhamukallah After Sneeze
These are recommended etiquettes & practices established as Sunnah by the Prophet (SWS). They are not fard , but they are strongly emphasized. Under normal circumstances, a Muslim should follow the practice of tashmit ( تشمیت ) . However, in exceptional situations—such as when a person has a medical condition—saying tashmit after the first sneeze is sufficient. For repeated sneezes, it does not need to be repeated again and again; the requirement is fulfilled with the first sneeze. The person who sneezes should say Alhamdulillah (الحمد للّٰہ) , and the one who hears it should respond with Yarhamukallah (یرحمک اللّٰہ) . After this, the one who sneezed may reply with یَھدیکُمُ اللّٰہُ وَیُصلِحُ بالَکُم (May Allah guide you and keep you well).
