Does swallowing food remnants unintentionally affect the validity of a person's prayer?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner: If some trace of food remains in the mouth, does it affect the validity of the prayer if he swallows this trace unintentionally?

Answer:
If it is unintentional, it does not harm. However, if he swallows it deliberately, that is not compatible with the prayer; he should spit it out and not swallow it. But it does not invalidate the prayer. If he deliberately swallowed something, it would invalidate the prayer, but it is better for him to spit it out. Yes.
