The ruling on seeking refuge with Allah when yawning
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: If a person yawns and then says, “I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Shaytan,” is this prescribed?
Answer:
No, this is not the practice of the common people. What is prescribed for the one who yawns is to suppress the yawn as much as he can. If it overcomes him, he should place his hand or something over his mouth, not open his mouth, and not make a sound; he should hold it in as much as he can. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
