Continuation of the discussion on: Does clearing the throat invalidate the prayer?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh: Go ahead.
The questioner : What is the ruling on blowing and clearing the throat in the obligatory prayer?
The Shaykh : Clearing the throat does not invalidate the prayer because it is not speech, especially if it is done out of necessity. If we thought it permissible to cite every report, whether authentic or not, we would have cited the hadith in which the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) cleared his throat for Ali. However, the chain of this hadith is weak, and we have no need to cite a weak hadith. It is sufficient for us that clearing the throat is not speech, because speech is what the evidence indicates is not permissible in prayer, and what is not permissible in prayer invalidates it. I hope I have answered your question.
