The ruling on seeking refuge from Satan when yawning

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah improve your age, and I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Shaytan. There is no harm in yawning.

Answer:
There is no harm in it, but it is not prescribed, because it is from Shaytan. Allah says, and if something comes from the self, seek refuge in Allah. If you seek refuge in Allah, there is no harm in it, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stated that yawning is from Shaytan.
