THE FIQH DEPARTMENT

In the Name of Allah, The Most Beneficent, The Most Merciful.
Although every Fiqh opinion is based on evidence, often times, the scholars differ in their views. This room for differences is a mercy from Allah, and as long as there is evidence to support an opinion, then we must respect scholars' views, even if we may not always agree.
The Prophet (SAW) said:
"Whoever performs Ijtihad and errs will receive one reward. Whoever performs Ijtihad and arrives at the correct answer gets double the reward"
(Bukhari)

Fiqh: Islamic Jurisprudence - Worship
Written by Ibn Taymiyyah   

Question:

Is there any proof from the Sunnah about wiping the face after making supplication?

Answer:

As for the raising of the hands during the supplication, then there are many authentic ahaadeeth which have come relating to that, and as for the wiping of the face; then there are two hadeeth pertaining to it, but neither of them establishes clear proof for it.
