Bhai sahab/behen sahiba,
The question in the title of the thread is asking about what you say to others when they sneeze. What it has to do with you stop practicing your religion? You are not suppose to say salaam to a non Muslim. Are you not practicing your religion if you don’t do that? So if you don’t say yarhamukullah (which any way is only to be said in reply if alhamdulillah) are you abandoning your religion?

TLK, Here he/she means something else. What I got is, questioning someone for following such pagan practices with tone and telling others simply that you don’t follow it or you don’t reply with yarhamukAllah, are two different things.

I don’t believe in Wheaties, but the sneezer sure didn’t eat their bowl o’ Lucky Charms. So, it makes sense.

Firstly I’m a bhai sahab and coming back to the topic I replied for question OP asked in the first post. First read and then try to understand what I meant.

Call me ill-mannered, but I don’t say anything if somebody else sneezes.

LOL @ some of the responses.

I say “bless you”, if the person sneezing is:

• non-Muslim
• Muslim but we are in a professional setting, where other people would be confused if we suddenly started speaking in Urdu or Arabic.

Sometimes, I’m absent-minded and miss the moment then I don’t say anything. Followed by awkward silence.

My family doesn’t say alhamdulillah loudly. We just say it internally. So there has never been a need to say yarhamukAllah loudly. “Bless you” would be highly awkward with family because we communicate mainly in Urdu.

One of my chachus used to exclaim “Oye shabash aye” when someone around him sneezed. It used to make us laugh always.
