Summary
A person who sneezes during prayer may say the tahmid (alhamdulillah), provided it is said quietly so that only he can hear it and it does not disturb others. The scholars cited note that saying it in the middle of al-Fatihah breaks the continuity of the recitation, and Sheikh al-Ba'lawi adds that al-Fatihah must then be repeated. For someone who hears the tahmid, the fatwa favours not responding to it, since he is in prayer and should focus on his own recitation.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Secara ringkasnya dibolehkan seseorang yang bersin di dalam solat untuk dia mengucapkan tahmid dengan syarat tidak mengangkat suaranya sehingga boleh menganggu orang lain. Ucapan tersebut perlulah disembunyikan iaitu hanya didengari oleh dirinya sendiri.
