The ruling on seeking refuge from Satan when yawning

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Some people, O Shaykh, seek refuge from Satan when they yawn. Is this based on any evidence?

Answer:
This has no basis. What is established is that when a yawn comes upon him, he should suppress it as much as he can. If he cannot, he should cover his mouth and not leave it open and exposed. Yes.
