Question:
May Allah reward you. Is yawning from Shaytan? And if yawning becomes frequent, Honorable Shaykh, what should one do?
Answer:
Yes, yawning is from laziness; its cause is laziness. Shaytan rejoices in it because it indicates laziness and lethargy. Shaytan rejoices in it, so it is recommended to suppress the yawn as much as possible. If one cannot, he should place his hand over his mouth, not open his mouth, and not raise his voice with the yawn as some people do. Yes.
