Question:
Abu Abdullah, please come on to the line. Go ahead, Abu Abdullah. Peace be upon you. And upon you, peace. Peace be upon you. Ah, I have a question for you, my master. Go ahead. My master, for example, if I wake up in the morning, or if I enter the mosque, what is the ruling if I enter the mosque and I have chewing gum or candy in my mouth, and I have no stomach problems? He says: Honorable Shaykh, I enter the mosque and I have some pieces of chewing gum or candy in my mouth for the prayer?
