The Ruling on Clearing the Throat in Prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Clearing the throat in prayer intentionally, O Shaykh, does it invalidate the prayer?

Answer:
If one clears his throat in prayer and two letters become apparent, then this invalidates the prayer, because the two letters constitute a word, and speech invalidates the prayer. Speech that is not prescribed in prayer invalidates it. Yes.
