Question
A person needs to recite the Shema but has a cold, causing their 'm' to sound like 'b' and 'n' like 'd'. They have a nasal spray that clears the nose, allowing the letters to be pronounced correctly. Are they required to use the spray before reciting the Shema?
Answer
Hello,
If you have the option to use a spray, you should do so before reciting the Shema.
