Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Does one seek refuge from Shaytan when a person yawns, whether he is tired or before sleeping? And the verse says[Al-A'raf 7:200]
Answer:
Yes, yawning is from Shaytan, as stated in the hadith. The Muslim should hold it in as much as he can. If he cannot, he places his hand over his mouth and does not open his mouth to yawn. This is among the etiquettes of yawning. He does not say, "I seek refuge in Allah from Shaytan," because this is not what was reported to be said when yawning; this was not reported. As for the statement[Al-A'raf 7:200], it refers to anger. This is for when a person is angry; when a person becomes angry, he should seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Shaytan, for that will remove the anger from him. Yes.
