Is seeking refuge prescribed when yawning?

Question:
I ask Allah to do you good. Your Eminence, father, the questioner says: Is there evidence for seeking refuge in Allah from Satan the Rakeeb when yawning?

Answer:
No, what is prescribed when yawning is for a person to hold it in as much as he can and not let it out, because it is from Satan. If it overcomes him, he should put his hand over his mouth. He puts his hand over his mouth and does not let a sound come out, as some people do, even in prayer. Some people disturb the one praying. He holds it in as much as he can. If it overcomes him, he puts his hand over his mouth and lowers his voice as much as he can. Yes.
