Yawning in Prayer


Question :

Yawning takes place in prayer and at other times, but what is important is the question of it occurring in prayer: Should the hand be placed over the mouth and refuge sought with Allah from the accursed Satan even during prayer? Or what should be done by the worshipper in this situation?


Answer:

If any of you yawns during prayer or at other times, he should close his mouth as much as he is able: If it overcomes him, he should place his hand over his mouth, because yawning is from Satan and he laughs at it. It is reported that Satan enters through the mouth of a person if he does not close his mouth and does not place his hand over it. And Allah knows best.
