Is belching openly prohibited?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks: Is there a prohibition against a person belching in front of people?

Answer:
Yes, it is not permissible for a person to belch in front of people because it is difficult for them due to the smell of the stomach and the odor rising from it. So if belching comes to him, he should hold it back as much as he can. If he cannot, he should put his hand over his mouth so that his breath and belching do not go to those sitting with him and those around him. This is part of the Islamic etiquette. Yes.
