What is the ruling on saying "Yarhamuk Allah (may Allah have mercy on you)" to someone who feigns sneezing as a joke?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The one who burps is not prescribed to say anything, nor should anything be said in response to him. Joking about such matters is not appropriate, as these are specific supplications and remembrances restricted to the occasions in which they were mentioned, like sneezing.
