The Ruling on Smiling in Prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If a person smiles while standing in prayer, does that invalidate it?

Answer:
No, smiling does not invalidate the prayer. What invalidates it is speaking, or loud laughter that produces letters. That is what invalidates the prayer. Yes.
