Does the heart stop when sneezing?
Question
The modern science tells us today that by sneezing your heart does not stops even for less then a second. But since my childhood till today in lots of Islamic lectures i have heard that while sneezing our heart stops. Can you please quote the Quran and Hadith please....
Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
The heart does not stop when sneezing.
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
