Seeking Refuge from Allah When Yawning

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Some people have the habit of seeking refuge in Allah from the accursed Shaytan when they yawn.

Answer:
There is no basis for this. It is obligatory for the one who is overcome by a yawn to suppress it as much as he can. If the yawn overpowers him, he should place a cloth or something over his mouth and not open it while yawning. Yes.
