The ruling on seeking refuge with Allah when yawning

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Abu Sa'ud says: Some people have the habit of seeking refuge in Allah from Satan the accursed when they yawn.

Answer:
There is no basis for this. What is established regarding yawning is to suppress it as much as possible. If it overcomes him, he should cover his mouth with his hand or his garment, not open his mouth, and not make a sound. He should suppress it as much as possible. Yes.
