Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Throat-clearing is frequent among the imam and the congregation in many mosques. Is their prayer invalid because of that?

No. Throat-clearing when there is a need is permissible; if it is involuntary, it is permissible. When there is a need, it is permissible, but when there is no need, that is where the discussion lies. Yes.
