Question
Hello, A person is in the Amidah prayer and their nose is running, and they don't have a tissue nearby. Can they wipe it with their shirt?
Answer
Hello
I did not understand the sides of the question.
Certainly, it is a very disrespectful behavior to wipe one's nose with a shirt, but there is no specific reason to forbid it during prayer.
