Can a person in Salaat pull-out his handkerchief from his pocket and wipe/blow his running nose or watery eyes, and put it back? Or can they hold a tissue in their hand throughout their Salaat?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Askimam.org

Would either of these actions invalidate their Salaat?

Answer

If there is a need for a person to wipe his eyes or nose in salaah, it is
advisable he keeps a hankeychief or tissue in his hand during salaah.
However, if he takes the hankeychief from his pocket and puts it back after
using it, that will not invalidate the salaah.
