The Ruling on Praying with Food in the Mouth
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh:
And peace be upon you.
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, I have a question for you. Please, go ahead. May Allah grant you success, it is like when you wake up in the morning, or like when you enter the mosque. What is the ruling if you enter the mosque and there are two dogs, or sweets, or what do you think about the question? He says: I have problems with my stomach. He says: O Honorable Shaykh, I enter the mosque and I have some pieces of chewing gum or candy in my mouth for the prayer.
The Shaykh:
Do not pray with food in your mouth. Clean your mouth of the food, then enter into the prayer. Yes.
And peace be upon you.
