*** The prohibition of Spitting in the Direction of the Qiblah ****

[Zaheer A Khan]

Bismillaah:

Huzaifah ibn al Yamaan رضي الله عنه said:

The Noble Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said:

''Whoever spits in the direction of the Qiblah will come on the Day of Resurrection with his saliva between his eyes.''

Takhreej:

{ Imam Abu Dawud in his Sunnan and the hadeeth is Hasan }

Abdulaah ibn Umar رضي الله عنه said:

The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said:

The person who spits in the direction of the Qiblah will be resurrected on the Day of Judgment with his spitting on his face."

Takhreej:

{ Imam Ibn Khuzaimah in his Saheeh }

Shaykh Naasir ud Deen al Albaani رحمه الله commented:

" It is prohibited to spit facing the Qiblah absolutely, regardless of whether it is in the mosque or other than it; and this prohibition applies to the person praying and the one not praying as stated by as San’aani. Imaam An Nawaawi asserted authoritatively that such is prohibited in all situation: during Salaah or outside the Salaah, in the mosque or other than it. This is the correct view based on the reported ahaadeeth concerning the prohibition.

{ Silsilah Ahadeeth us Saheehah 1/389 , Subul us Salaam 1/230 }

*** And Allaah عزوجل knows best ***

Wait...Was spitting during Salaah in a different direction allowed then?

[Zaheer A Khan]

Yes, it is allowed to do a light spitting on your left if you feel a distraction from the Shaytan in the Salah.
