The Ruling on Yawning While Reciting al-Fatihah in Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Your Excellency the Shaykh, the questioner says: He yawned while reciting al-Fatihah in the obligatory prayer. Does he repeat the verse in which he yawned, or does he continue with his recitation?
Answer:
If he completed the verse, there is nothing wrong with it; he completed it. But if he did not complete the verse, he repeats it from the beginning. Yawning is something a person should resist, because it is from Shaytan and indicates laziness and lethargy. He should resist it as much as he can. If it overcomes him, he does not raise his voice with it and covers his mouth so that it does not open; rather, he covers it with his hand or the edge of his garment and suppresses it as much as he can.
