Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: What is the ruling on turning one’s head during prayer for the purpose of spitting and seeking refuge? Is it prescribed at all times?
Answer:
It is prohibited, and it is a theft that Satan steals from the servant’s prayer. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibited turning one’s head like a fox if it is not for a need, so it is not permissible. Yes.
