Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: While I was praying, my son entered and said that so-and-so had recovered from his illness, so I said, "Praise be to Allah," while I was in prayer. Did my prayer become invalid?

Answer:
If one did not intend to speak in prayer and it was a mistake or due to ignorance on his part, the correct view is that his prayer does not become invalid because of that. Yes.
