Does the prayer become invalid by gesturing, moving, or speaking?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Yes. So I said, does the prayer mean this, or that? No.

The Shaykh : There is no harm in moving.

The questioner : Or they said, yes, Shaykh, if you recite a verse from the Qur'an, they said yes.

The Shaykh : And we say.

The questioner : For example, does the verse come in the Qur'an? They said yes, a verse in the Qur'an? They said yes, so you mean, yes, to the one who is speaking to you?

The Shaykh : You mean the recitation invalidated your prayer, meaning if someone speaks to you and you are at the point of His saying, "Am I not your Lord?" Yes,
Have you found what your Lord promised to be true?" They will sayفَهَلْ وَجَدتُّم مَّا وَعَدَ رَبُّكُمْ حَقًّا قَالُوا
[Al-A'raf 7:44]
, when you reached the word "they said," someone told you, "So-and-so is present?" You said yes, do you want to answer him?

The questioner : Or otherwise, this recitation, Shaykh, I am reciting, for example, the attributes, then I moved to this surah when I wanted to.

The Shaykh : In any case, as long as you intended to address someone, this invalidates the prayer, but if you addressed the recitation, this does not invalidate the prayer.
