Performing salaah while wearing a mask
Question
In the recent wave of Corona virus everyone is directed to use mask regularly. My question is do we have to remove mask for prayer because when we do sajda our forehead and nose are supposed to touch the ground. So shall we remove the mask for prayer? Or if we keep wearing mask then our nose won't be touching ground due to wearing of mask.
Answer
Remove the mask when performing salaah.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
