Yawning in prayer without placing the hand over the mouth
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The second question of Fatwa number ( 13332 )
Q2: One of the ma'mum (those praying behind the imam) yawned deeply during the prayer, and upon finishing the prayer, one of the worshippers said: that yawning in prayer without placing the hand over the mouth invalidates the wudu' (ablution), is this correct? Please inform us, may Allah reward you.
A2: It is prescribed (mashru') for one who yawns to place his hand over his mouth. It is established from Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: , and yawning is not considered a nullifier of wudu'. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.

If one of you yawns, let him hold his hand over his mouth, for Satan enters with the yawn
إذا تثاءب أحدكم فليمسك بيده على فمه، فإن الشيطان يدخل مع التثاؤب
